Guest: Steve McKinley, Halifax bureau
There is an interesting project off the East Coast involving tidal energy that has accomplished something that no previous one has. Sustainable Marine's floating tidal turbine platform PLAT-I 6.40 has connected to the Nova Scotia grid, converting the power of the world's largest tides into electricity. With looming deadlines requiring more green energy from renewable sources, reporter Steve McKinley of the Toronto Star Halifax bureau joins "This Matters" to talk about how tidal energy could be one solution to moving people off fossil fuelled power.
