I mean, having your own little spy plane?
Find out what's going on in traffic, see what the neighbors are doing, and so much more. I wish I could get one.
Just looking at the basic idea, using tidal motion and waves for power generation, makes sense.
However, the questions that should be asked before making this large scale, and common, would be:
-What waters as best suited for this equipment?
-Does the buoy generator system constitute a hazard to navigation? Not only for fishing, but the vast majority of cargo moves by sea.
-Will the money from power production cover the cost of placing and maintaining the buoys?
It's an interesting idea, but will it turn out to be something that fails?
Exactly! Knowing a little about how these things are normally carried, chauffering nukes across the country in an airplane makes security sense. Besides, in a cargo bird, they can carry an onboard security team!

I more meant that it would be better to move nuclear weapons around as air cargo, rather than high security truck convoys.
