  1. Bay of Fundy power generation has been done, and found to be uneconomic. The up-front capital costs are not justified by the sales of the electric power produced.

  2.  @robertrussell9336  I certainly agree with your last statement! In the early 1980's much work was done on Bay of Fundy power generation, and a tidal power plant was, in fact built. I know this for a fact because my employer designed, built, and supplied, the hydraulic turbine with rim generator. Took my family to see this installation in 1985. This type of power plant is not economically viable in many circumstances, unfortunately. Google on bay of fundy straflow turbine. There is new work going on now.
