Impossible to give a realistic answer as it depends on your supplier, country of domicile etc
Sihwa Lake Tidal Power in South Korea generates 250 MW of electricity, and has been in operation since last year. Korea has plans to begin construction of a 1 GW tidal power plant in 2017. Since a watt is equal to one joule per second, a gigawatt is 3.16x10^16 joules per year. Theoretically, much larger tidal generation facilities could be built, but there are practical economic and environmental considerations to factor in that.
The amount of Watts a tidal energy gives is 200-300W
The energy produced is related to the size of the power plant, not the amount of gas it uses. The question you really want answered is "How much gas does it take to produce a kilowatt of electricity?"
it is caused by the shocks of an earthquake and the earthquake is caused by the movements of the plates at the bottom of the earth
Tidal power is useful because it generates electricity that is renewable, free and non-polluting. So it is an excellent replacement for energy from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) which is non-renewable, expensive and polluting (that is, causing global warming).

If it runs at 1000 MW (for example) and it runs all year at this power level, it will produce 365,000 MWd (megawattdays) of electricity in one year.
more than wave also more preditable than saolar AND wind!
Every turbine gives 300-400 homes power.
Well, they carry SO MUCH force with them that it's impossible to harness the energy they carry as actual fuel for electricity. So much force, in fact, that it may be impossible, even with increasing technology.
The best advantage of thermal power is the price. It is a much cheaper way to produce electricity.
The latest design PWR's produce about 1500 MWe per unit.
In the US, about 50% of total electricity, but it varies from one country to another.
It's difficult to say. A tidal wave, or a tsunami, has an amazing amount of power, but it is all over in a hour or two. Tidal mills can capture the tidal water twice a day and use it to generate clean electricity. This will continue for ever (or until the turbines need to be replaced).
In the US, 49 percent of total production of electricity
It produced enough electricity to power his holiday home and a surplus which he offered to the locals to power their street lights but they refused saying "Electricity was the work of the devil".
