I was going to make a joke about humps on seeing that title....but you already did. Congratulations on joining us in Olderanddumberland!

@theturbochargedsquirrel Well, that's a pleasant title...cool song though! 😄

@awesomeaustinv Nova Scotia just completed a pilot project to test the usefulness of them here off the coast of the Bay of Fundy.

We have the world's highest tides there (not where I live in NS though, just the Bay of Fundy) and those tides change from low tide to high over the course of like 6 hours...something like 10ft to 50ft. Pretty crazy to relax near a wharf or river there for a few hours when it's happening and seeing the waterline change...I remember camping near a river there when I was a kid and watching fishing boats be beached on a completely dry bottom when I went to bed and be floating 'up' at the wharf above when i woke up, lol.

Because of the crazy tides, the potential for tidal energy here is MASSIVE...the tidal currents move at something like 5 meters a second in places! Apparently the pilot project just ended and several Japanese companies have agreed to participate on constructing and implementing the new turbines.

@awesomeaustinv I think they've had some financial difficulties and various stakeholders have bought in and baled out. I feel like they'd probably have to partner with another maker to do cars again.

@awesomeaustinv no, just part of the music. It was in the mid-late 90s, a dance pop song in the key of G, with an androgynous singer IIRC, and the musical part that I remember repeated over and over. At the end of the song the line plays for a few bars at half speed.
