In short, because they are an unstoppable force. Imagine how much force and power is in one wave? Now multiply that by about 100,000,000,000,000 waves that occur across the coast per second. That is a ton of energy just waiting to be harnessed! The thing about ocean energy is that is does not specifically USE any non renewable material. With solar power we use rare expensive metals to absorb the suns Energy. The scarcity of those materials make it non renewable, in complete honesty. The ocean; on the other hand, only requires some sort of machine that can turn a crank, much like a wind turbine or an alternator on a car. This requires no special material other than copper and other abundant metals. Also, unlike wind turbines, there are always waves coming up onto beaches, whereas there are often times when there is no wind available to spin the turbines on land.

The ocean tides move termendous amounts of water and it is this movement of water that can produce electricity. The sea can be harnessed for energy in three basic ways: using wave power, using tidal power, and using ocean water temperature variations in a process called “ocean thermal energy conversion”.

The answer lies in the specific heat of water. The oceans are a gigantic heat sink; absorbing more heat from sunlight than the land (about 5 times as much per unit mass; and the oceans cover 70% of the globe, providing a much greater heat absorbing surface. This represents a vast resource of energy; ans also drives the world’s weather.
