Shownotes Transcript

On an average day about 160 billion tonnes of seawater flows into the Bay of Fundy. That’s more than four times the combined flow of all of the freshwater rivers in the world. Nova Scotia could produce more electricity here than all of Nova Scotia requires-if they get it right. On this weeks Green Energy Futures CKUA podcast we visit the Minas Passage where Nova Scotia is testing the next generation of tidal technologies.
