The earliest evidence of the use of the oceans’ tides for power conversion dates back to about 900 A.D.”. In 2015 tidal energy is changing thanks to innovation in technology but it still has a long journey to go before it can compete with other renewable sources such as wind energy. FORCE (Fundy Ocean Research Centre for Energy) has been perfecting this technology so that Canadians around the Atlantic region can have access to a eco-friendly energy source that will not only provide them energy but one that can have minimal damage on the aquatic eco-systems. Tidal energy works by harnessing the force of tides. This force will push a turbine which when pushed produces energy. This energy is sent to a power grid. Eventually the energy is sent to homes where people use it to power their everyday needs. For Nova Scotia’s citizen this technology will be place in the tides of the Bay of Fundy where tides are averaged to be almost 14 metres high. There are many different perspectives on tidal energy but a lot can be said about the new technology. FORCE one of the leading researching group believes that tidal energy can be a new safe and reliable energy source that is very
