Energy From Waves and Tides

Today we finished reading an article about how we might be able to get energy from things other then the the basic energy sources we are debating on in the world already. Anaylysts had come up with a plan B, at that idea was to get energy from the waves and tidal waves! I think that this was a great idea. The analysts thought too because we are using now in 2012. The way they got this energy was that they put turbines in the ocean. The person who made this was Roger Bedard. This invention was a brilliant idea in my opinion was very creative and could almost produce as much electricity as the Severn dam but with less environmental impact, capital investment, and power variation.
