The Bay of Fundy, between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, has one of the world’s most powerful tides. Now, engineers and scientists hope to finally turn it into a clean energy source.
As Scotland moves ahead with bringing tidal energy from an emerging technology to a commercial reality, Brexit could shake up the ocean power industry.
While it could be a couple of decades before wave energy is a feasible source of power here on the coast, an energy station off the shoreline will soon host a series of experimental buoys which could boost the local grid with 20 megawatts of power.
