You began it with : "I know nothing about the nuts and bolts of such things. But every time I read someone talking about a huge effort, I wonder if there isn't someone thinking about a million small efforts."

I do know a lot about the nuts and bolts and I was sharing. Sorry for offending. A lot of research (particularly in wave/tidal/current) is of the lots-of-small-devices approach and it looks promising. Same goes for solar, however, it won't work for wind because of the physics of energy in a low density fluid medium.
