Realistically none of the worlds energy needs are done in this manner.
The amount of electricity generated by tidal energy in a day can vary depending on the location and specific tidal energy technology being used. On average, tidal energy projects can generate anywhere from a few megawatt-hours to tens of megawatt-hours per day.
The amount of energy produced by tidal energy in one day can vary greatly depending on factors such as location, tidal patterns, and the specific technology being used. However, on average, a tidal energy system can generate enough electricity to power an estimated 750-1,500 homes for a day.
Because they have the largest tides in the world with a difference of as much as 48 feet between low tide and high tide. The greater the difference, the more energy can be derived from the change.
As of now, tidal energy makes up a very small fraction of the global energy mix, accounting for less than 0.1% of global electricity generation. Its adoption is limited due to high initial costs, technological challenges, and environmental impact concerns. However, interest in tidal energy is growing as countries seek to diversify their renewable energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
Tidal power accounts for a very small percentage of global energy production, less than 0.1%. It is not currently a major source of energy due to high costs and limited locations where it can be effectively harnessed.
The amount of electricity generated by tidal energy in a day can vary depending on the location and specific tidal energy technology being used. On average, tidal energy projects can generate anywhere from a few megawatt-hours to tens of megawatt-hours per day.
Approximately 6.1% of the world's energy is generated using wind turbines.
Around 10% of the world's energy is generated from nuclear power.

Air compressor alone consumes about 50 to 60 % of energy generated by a gas turbine..
A lot!!!! Remember Energy is mass multiplied to velocity squared. Algebraically,. E = kg (m/s)^(2). and it is given the units name of Joules(J). So estuarine water flow of say 10 million kgs. flowing at say 10 knots., which is approximately, ( 10 nautical miles per hours) translates to 0.5 m/s Hence energy(E) = 10,000,000 X 0.5 X 0.5 = 2500000 J = 2500 kJ. This is a lot of energy. The difference between estuarine water flow and wind farms is that estuarine water is predictable, because it is part of the normal tidal flow, and driven by the Moon. When will the wind blow???? The figures above are purely fictitious, but given to show that a lot of energy is going to 'waste'. However, building a tidal barrage to capture this energy is a very expensive business. You would need to consider , a concrete dam(barrage), impellers, sluices for water flow and shipping, and a causeway for traffic to cross, and environmental factors. The Dutch have done it in at least two places, viz. The Afsluitdijk, and the North Sea Canal (Noord Zee Kanaal) at Ijmuiden.
In 2007 it was about 2600 Terawatthours. See the link below for how this figure is arrived at for all countries with nuclear power
