N.S. energy firm working to harness Fundy tides

The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world - but your home gets none of its power from tidal energy.That's something Ron Scott hopes to change.

The Sussex native is president of Halifax-based Maritime Tidal Energy, a two-year-old company that is aiming to create a tidal power industry around the Fundy shore.

"It's like an oil well that never runs dry," Scott says.
