Impressive! So harnessing current energy is a framework that could apply to other coastal cities or anywhere near a body of water? Seattle, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, Paris?   Have you heard of the Art Center Global Dialogues(http://blog.globaldialogues.eu)? This seems like something to present about at an international event like the Dialogues, to get more public awareness about the idea.

I’ve been wondering if water turbines like the ones being tested in the Bay of Fundi aren’t being looked at for off-shore use. It seems like there is some potential for the technology off shore similar to off-shore wind farms. Although the impact to shipping lanes and fishing grounds would have to be assessed.
