Tidal energy is a form of gathering energy from the tidal currents. Depending of the size of the system it could cost billions. A system planned for Britain would cost 15 billion pounds to build.

How much energy does tidal power produce?
more than wave also more preditable than saolar AND wind!
How much would it cost to get rid of a large amount of the US's nuclear weapons?
Nearly what it cost to build them.
How much money does it cost to build an atomic bomb today?
5 billion
How much would you save if you built a nuclear power plant?
Figures published on website www.world-nuclear.org show that the projected overall cost of electric power from nuclear plants is similar to that from fossil fuelled plants (coal or natural gas). Nuclear plants cost more to build but the fuel costs are lower, so they need to be run at full power whenever possible.
How much does an average nuclear power station cost?
I can give you a link to a paper which discusses recent analysis of this, but I don't think it will be as good as getting the facts direct from a company which is going to build a new plant, though there are often cost overruns in actual building. See link below
How much does does it cost to build a tidal power system?
Depending on the size it could cost millions of dollars, millions of pounds, millions of euros. There's no way of answering this question accurately. One of the suggested tidal stations for the Severn Estuary in England/Wales is costed at 23 billion pounds. That depends on how wide an estuary it has to span, on the geological conditions for its foundations, on the tidal range, and other factors. But for any serious tidal barrage you are looking at hundreds of millions of pounds, probably billions of pounds. Basically what we are saying is that Tidal power is not developed as of yet. We do not know the cost per watt of this technology as of yet.

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.
