TIDAL ENERGY ON THE EAST COAST

We believe tidal energy would work well in this region of the country as there are already projects testing this in New York and Maine. According to forbes.com, "Ocean Renewable Power Co. has an undertaking at Cobscook Bay in Maine, and it has been working with the local utility, Bangor Hydro-Electric, to deliver power. It will eventually produce 5,000 kilowatts, Ocean Renewable says. And, Verdant Power just finished demonstrating a phase of its Roosevelt Tidal Energy Project in New York City’s East River. That would ultimately consist of 30 35-kilowatt tidal energy turbines — a project that is expected to get officially underway by 2015."
