I’ll bet this will cost taxpayers at least $30,000 per home per year, but it will make Algore happy. To me, Algore’s happiness is not worth the dogdoo I wiped off my shoe tonight.

EASTPORT — Workers spent the past winter tinkering with high-tech turbines slung beneath a barge in the cold waters off the Maine coast before getting them to produce a modest 20 kilowatts, enough electricity to power a half-dozen homes.

Far from discouraged, Ocean Renewable Power Co. is spending the summer preparing to deploy larger turbines capable of producing up to 5 megawatts.

Eventually, the company envisions producing enough electricity to power 22,000 homes by harnessing the power of Passamaquoddy Bay, where twice each day the tide rises and falls upwards of 20 feet, the greatest tide change in the continental United States.
