But how are you going to predict when there are tides? So mysterious!
On a more serious note, I'm happy to build loads of tidal plants, contingent on the usual concerns about local impact. Can we really get enough juice out of them? Anything that provides a consistent backbone at least helps mitigate the variance problems with solar and wind, although only pure reliable energy (or some really killer batteries) will eliminate them.
