If you are claiming (it's a bit unclear) that tidal energy is a derived
form of solar, i.e. derived from the light emitted by the sun, and
incident on the earth, you are mistaken.

No. I admit to a gross over simplification there.

APART from tidal, they all are incident sunlight

ALL represent low grade diffuse energy..a tough thing to cope with
engineering wise.


Wind and hydro _are_ solar, though.
