I looked into the wave idea a year ago. There is a garage company or two that make micro systems. The problem is that waves, except in extremely dangerous and hard to manuver places on earth, are not big enough swells to lift a large enough float to make the power requirements of a city. When they are that big, it is generally a place on earth that is hard to place an object meant to move with waves of arbitrary size. Most people really mean tidal power when they say wave power. This can only be done in beautiful places on earth and would disrupt large wetlands. The thermoclimb might be the best idea in that arena.
