Could this be another option... I'm sure theres enough waves off the aussie coast to do some good?

my sister inlaws dad is / was involved in the power industry somehow, and was looking into doing something similar here in Qld (aswell as molten salt and other options also). I think I recall he said to me once, the main issue is those things néed to be within a certain distance of the shoreline for some reason, and nobody with water front properties wants to see those out front of their place.

There's a hydro-generation plant at San Remo, Vic. right beside the Bridge onto Phillip Island.
Uses the Tidal flow through the channel between the Island and San Remo.

There's one in Freo too. They produce bugger all power. The Freo one is 2MW from memory. Not even enough power to run a few supermarkets.

Haha good one Bird. We did try that also in SA- it didn't end well http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/business/a-wave-generator-sunk-off-carrickalinga-beach-will-cost-3-million-to-clean-up/news-story/7f574b5e163d21365e959bc7a7bb9d12 and here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9Q6xCjG7gI

But seriously, this mob in WA are giving wave energy a red hot go. I had some penny dreadful shares in Carnegie wave generation about 12 years ago, but sold out when they doubled in price for one moment in time. Haven't looked back to see what they could be worth today though...http://carnegiewave.com/

Cheers!

Caught a bit of talkback radio and the penny is dropping that unreliables can't even reboot the system when a problem occurs like tornados taking out infrastructure and you don't want to ring up trying to spin the Green power line, that's for sure-
