    rondog, there is a way to harness tidal energy, but it's not as feasible because they are very expensive compared to other forms of energy, and they are more successful with steady and strong tidal pull. Their use is limited. However, I do feel that if we mastered nuclear fusion it would help as far as being on a grid goes. Truth be told I'd rather have a house that can draw most of its own power on site and very little to none from the grid. Either way, oil and coal are like heroin and and crack; this country needs a detox and get away from it.

    I think we should tell liberals that wearing a lightning rod hat during thunderstorms will help clean up the environment and cut down on emissions.

    what? it is true

    Rondog, not only is there the way that funkfool posted (there is a similar product to put onto sail boats as well), but there are also set ups that generate energy from the difference between the surface and subsurface temperatures of the water. There is also a similar system for taking heat from subsurface Earth.
