Sorry to say, tidal power is too dispersed to be of much use. True, there are a few locations where geological formations manage to concentrate tidal power and make it somewhat feasable (eg, Bay of Fundy, which is not actually used, St.Loo in France, and some others) but these sites are few and far between. Add to this is the irresistable power of the sea when Nature goes berserk. Many man-made structures have yielded to storm seas. Have a look at my Web site at http://jandcmccormick.home.att.net for other energy comments.
