Tweaking tidal technology : harnessing Fundy's phenomenal tides? / [written and desgined by J.A. Percy]. : En13-8/30-2009E-PDF
"Once again, engineers, businessmen and politicians are looking at the powerful tidal currents in the Bay of Fundy as a vast, largely untapped, source of seemingly clean, “green”, sustainable energy. They assure us that over the past decade new and improved marine energy technologies have reached the point where electricity can be generated efficiently, safely and with minimal environmental impact. ... The governments of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have been grappling with the question of how best to ensure that any proposed tidal power development in the Bay of Fundy is properly managed and regulated, carefully monitored, and cautiously introduced in an incremental, reversible manner. Before looking at how they are attempting to do this, we need to briefly consider earlier efforts at extracting power from Fundy’s roiling waters in order to provide an historical context and a baseline against which to assess these newest endeavours."--p. 1.
