Wither Tidal-Current Power?
Tidal power generation ideas have come and gone. A few actually work.

In 2016, with considerable fanfare, the Cape Sharp Tidal (CST) company launched its “long-awaited” underwater test turbine in the Bay of Fundy.  CST, co-owned by Nova Scotia’s Emera Inc. (EI), and the Irish co. OpenHydro Ltd. (OH), a subsidiary of the French co. Naval Energies, (NE), have hit the end of the road. Both CST and OH have now filed for bankruptcy.


According to a CBC report (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/emera-pulls-out-from-troubled-cape-sharp-tidal-project-1.4783328), Emera recently pulled out of the CST venture after “The surprise application by Naval Energies to Ireland’s High Court on July 26 requesting the liquidation of OpenHydro and Naval Energies’ subsequent statement that it will no longer support or invest in tidal turbines left Emera with no practical choice but to withdraw from Cape Sharp Tidal” (https://www.thestar.com/business/2018/08/14/emera-ends-involvement-in-troubled-bay-of-fundy-tidal-turbine-project.html ).
As recently as Sept. 18, 2018, “An Irish technical team brought into work on the Cape Sharp Tidal turbine in the Bay of Fundy is trying to determine why the machine’s rotor is not turning.” (https://www.thestar.com/halifax/2018/09/18/team-investigating-why-rotor-not-turning-on-cape-sharp-tidal-turbine.html ).
