Wind and wave energy are the result of the conversion of solar energy into kinetic energy, i.e. the motion of molecules. Once converted into kinetic energy it's a use it or lose it proposition. Extracting kinetic energy from the atmosphere or the ocean doesn't mean it won't be replaced by

Andrew Most of the energy in waves is at present dissipated as heat in water and sand at the beach. Data on the North Atlantic wave climate combined with the flow of the North Atlantic Drift suggest an increase in temperature on the beach by about 1/50 of a degree Celsius. If we built
