We have enough shore lines...Plenty of energy there to be captured but a very aggressive environment for the installations to survive in. There are some interesting projects being undertaken in the wave and tidal sector though.
There was some talk a while back about placing some units in the kaipara harbour, but then i heard that environmentalists had concerns about the turbines sucking in the fish and chopping them up.
I dont know how great that risk is to fish/wildlife, but it would be a great constant energy supply.
