To: There You Go Again

Highest tides in the world are at the Bay of Fundy. Back in the 60s there was a huge campaign to tap them at the Chignecto Basin. KC Irving, the big industrialist, said he could use them to create hundreds of millions in industy, that’s billions today. Because its the Maritimes, the back end of Canada, no one did anything. But you can’t lose with tidal power. It’s working, where else? in France, the nation that leads in atomic power.

Puerto Peñasco, at the top of the Sea of Cortez, has 24' tides, about half that of the Bay of Fundy, but high enough to produce plenty of electricity.
