“Most Extreme Tide on Earth”

PBS/Atlas Obscura’s Untold Earth (Season 2, Episode 7: Bay of Fundy)

Typical ocean tides average about three feet, but in the Bay of Fundy, water rises and falls a whopping 50 feet twice a day.

160 billion tons of water rush through the bay in each tidal cycle, generating enough potential energy to power a small city.

What would it take to sustainably harness tidal power in the Bay of Fundy?
