> Producing energy on a completely predicable schedule, while being less useful than at will, is much easier to deal with than producing energy on a modestly predictable but highly variable basis I agree in theory, but in practice tidal doesn't scale like wind does (both in terns of the size of turbines and where they can be located around the coast). The predictable but small amount of energy it can produce is of limited use.
