The first commercial tidal energy project in North America is in its
last test phase. Turbines have been engineered a little way off the
coast of Eastport Maine in such a way to ensure they always turn the
same way, whether the tide is rolling in, or out. The turbines power a
generator, creating electricity. Cables carry it onshore and directly
into the power grid. Three years from now, they hope to power 1,200
homes. Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler reports from Eastport Maine.
