Underwater Seafloor Turbines

Set aside the huge Texas oil reserve finds, restarting 'clean coal', Elon's slick solar roofs and Trump banning wind mills by his Scottish golf course; North America's first tidal turbine generator has gone online. The famous Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia will harness the power from the high and low tide movements to generate 2 MW of electrical power, adding more turbines to produce 300MW target by 2020. The two-cycle tide height differential of 56 feet involves 160 billion tons of water. The cycles will be harnessed by seafloor tidal turbines, 50 ft dia turbines weighing 1,000 tons. It also has the least environmental impact to marine life and natural ecosystems.
