Elon Musk, Tesla, and the Global Tug-of-War

You know that a big change is coming when countries are vying to get Tesla's production contracts. Let's hope that it doesn't fizzle out, that people realize that it's time to think long-term about energy production and its consequences.

Tidal Turbine Array now powering up homes in Nova Scotia

As a believer in alternative cleaner sources of energy, I welcome this development.

"Cape Sharp Tidal, a joint venture between Emera and OpenHydro, is now lighting up homes in Nova Scotia, Canada, after being successfully connected to the grid. North America’s largest tidal turbine array, this 2 megawatt (MW) machine weighs 1,000 tons and is the height of a five-storey building when fitted on its base. Following deployment in the Bay of Fundy, a marine operations team safely connected its subsea cable to an onshore substation and then thoroughly tested the entire system, including all monitors and communications links. More than 300 people have been employed on the project in areas such as fabrication, environmental monitoring, engineering, health and safety and marine services."
