How much energy can a tidal facility produce in one year?
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.
What are the disadvantages of an oil fired power station over a tidal power station?
The main disadvantage with an oil station over a tidal one is that the oil station produces much higher levels of pollution - specifically CO2. Added to this is the fact that all fossil fuel power station are running on finite resources - there is a lot of debate about how much fossils fuels we actually have left but everyone agrees that at SOME POINT it will run out.In addition to the environmental reasons, an oil plant would likely cost a lot more to build, it is mush more visible and an eyesore to most people.On the plus side for oil plants:The technology is well understood, tidal is getting there but is not a fully fledged method of power generation yet.An oil plant would create lots of jobsFossil fuel plants are very reliable (tidal is as well)And most importantly - if you want more power you can turn it up. This isn't really an option with tidal plants.
Why is tidal power useful?
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).
Does tidal mills make as much energy as tidal waves?
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).

How much tidal power energy could the US use?
Tidal power needs a suitable bay or river mouth that fills up with massive amounts of water at high tide, but that only has a small exit to the sea, otherwise it is not economical. There are not many suitable locations in the US for tidal power.
