Invitation letter from "European Energy Conference" to present this concept: http://physics-edu.org/invitation.jpg
Even though the magnitude of displacement is much less, the energy involved in the drifting of land masses (fault line) are enormous. The relative movement can be amplified with the help of hydraulic magnification systems and the displaced fluids can be used to turn turbines.

Possible applications: Compressed air car- compressed air for low-to-zero emission power, Compressed air for generating electric power, Drive flywheels (flywheel energy storage), hydrogen generation technologies, pumped storage electricity etc.
It is noted that the above mentioned slip rates are average values per year. Since its intermittent nature, the energy can be stored as compressed air in underground caverns or in flywheels. The land drift energy can contribute to the generation of green energy to some great extent where there are fault systems present. Fault or fault line is a planar fracture in rock in which the rock on one side of the fracture has moved with respect to the rock on the other side. Earthquakes are caused by energy release during rapid slippage along a fault. Large faults within the Earth's crust are the result of differential or shear motion and active fault zones are the causal locations of most earthquakes. A fault that runs along the boundary between two tectonic plates is called a transform fault.
List of Fault lines around the world:

Fault along the southern boundary of Makhtesh Ramon, Negev, southern Israel
Marie, Northern Ontario, Canada
The Wellington Fault (New Zealand) at Emerald Hill
Alpine fault

sounds like it would be really hard to build
