Aha - a good question! The energy itself is free.
Extracting it is expensive because it demands a lot of costly engineering in building and maintaining the plant.
The same applies to hydro-electric and wind power.

What are the disadvantantage of ocean thermal energy?
Mainly that the useful energy is spread out quite thinly, so it requires large and expensive equipment to get a significant amount of useful power.
What is the most expensive energy?
the most expensive is nuclear energy
How does ocean energy release energy?
Because a lot of undeveloped energy are acculated in the ocean , when the ocean is flooding , the energy will be released .
Why is solar energy expensive?
Solar energy is so expensive because it is a relatively new concept for energy. The technology involved with bringing that energy to consumers is expensive.
Would ocean energy work in places like Utah with no ocean?
Ocean energy requires an ocean.
What the difference between ocean energy and hydro energy?
The difference between ocean energy and hydro energy is that ocean energy collects kinetic energy from waves in the ocean, while hydro energy collects it from water coming down from dams
Why is solar energy so expensive?
Solar energy is so expensive because it is a relatively new concept for energy. The technology involved with bringing that energy to consumers is expensive.
When was ocean energy invented?
Ocean energy was invented In 1966
Why shouldn't people use windmills to collect wind energy from over the ocean?
They should. But the installations are much more expensive and more difficult to maintain.
What is energy from ocean water?
The energy produced by the movement of ocean water is Tidal Energy
Who discovered ocean energy?
In 1966 M.Jannaschii discovered ocean energy
What are some examples of energy from oceans?
ocean energy is the ocean that has enegy
