All the things you mention - wind, tidal - are being tried. They just aren't that easy or that cost effective. I mentioned earlier on this subject that I worked for a company that did wind. It was quite difficult, some of the problems have not been solved over the last 30 years. No one wants it anywhere near where they live. It is a blight on the landscape. It will scare the caribou and they won't mate.

joseph, I am glad you mentioned methane hydrates. It brings to mind, that when I lived in Oklahoma, and Missouri, automobile fuel was available with a fairly large percentage of methanol in it, and if made my car run great, and from what I was told, produced less pollution. I also wonder what makes the Enterprise able to go at warp speed. Is that atomic, or anti-matter? Don't laugh. Much of the science fiction of Jules Verne has come to be. One never knows when the next invention, or discovery, will take us in a brand new direction. I hesitate to say it will take us where no one has gone before.
