Using the tides and the ocean waves will not work that well. They are better off putting the money into wind and solar power.
I used to work in the wind industry. The wind industry had a very rocky start but the new machines they have out now are awesome. The wind farm I worked at had 336 65kw machines. We were able to mod these things out to 110 kw machines. We put on better gear boxes, rewound the generators and repitched and polished the blades. Now they come from the factory in 1 MW machines and higher. The only problem is no wind, no juice.
