Why can't we utilize the crushing forces of ocean depths to generate green energy?

- Are the technical requirements for achieving such a system currently not cost effective?
- Have we not figured out an effective means of harnessing said energy?
- Am I just stupid and this isn't actually something that can work?

>this isn't actually something that can work  

This one, there's no mechanism to harness energy from that. You can't run a turbine off water that isn't moving, you can't harness the pressure deep under the ocean any more than we could harness the weight of a brick to generate electricity. Now if you have a stream of water that is *moving*, then it's easy to put a turbine in it's path and spin a generator.
