Ah, whats stupid about it? Harnessing tidal power to generate power sounds pretty smart for me.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaawn.

Wake me up when someone actually erects this lame idea and produce a watt of energy from such contraption.

Actually, similar devices have already been implemented, they are quite effective ;).

These have been installed for testing since 2003 in Northern Ireland and have been pumping 1.2MW into the local grid since Dec 2008.
