New Brunswick, Canada to Investigate Tidal Power Potential


As reported in

Tidal power wave of future?
(6/25/05),the province of New Brunswick is studying the feasibility of tidal power as a viable source of energy. According to the article:
Part of the study [note - the study will be conducted by EPRI] is just to look at the possible permitting of a test site and if there's the potential for someone within the province to manufacture the turbines," Energy Minister Bruce Fitch said.
New Brunswick has joined Nova Scotia and a number of American jurisdictions, spending $30,000 to find out whether it would make sense to install turbines on the seabed off New Brunswick's coast to generate electricity.
