Sustainable and Renewable Energy

New Zealand talks about wind and solar energy all the time. It's a complete nonsense, they're both useless. However, NZ does have two kinds of renewable energy that is abundant and forever - geothermal and tidal. So, why don't we ever hear much about either?

Oh wait, would that be because Big Green capital isn't invested in it, would that be it? 

C'mon NZ, the country has abundant geothermal energy, and the strongest tides in the world. NZ's tides are that big, waterways such as Cook Strait are dangerous, famous for its shipwrecks. However, when it comes to using tidal energy, I'm not aware of anyone in the country designing something feasible to harness that power. As long as we have the moon, we have the tides, the tides are free and consistent. 

It isn't rocket science.

Tidal energy is a clean, renewable, sustainable resource that is underutilized and represents significant opportunity to meet growing global energy needs, both now and in the future. Water is hundreds of times denser than air, which makes tidal energy more powerful than wind. It is more efficient than wind or solar energy due to its relative density and produces no greenhouse gases or other waste, making it an attractive renewable energy source to pursue.
