Any system you remove energy from to move it somewhere else will have an effect on that system. Remove it from the wind, affect air currents and climate. Remove it from the sea, affect sea currents and sea life. All "green" solutions are bullshit.
As I said, tidal would be the more reliable solution baring going full Gundam 00 with space elevators but we're better off developing hydrogen and nuclear fusion technology while using nuclear fission in the interim.
