Links about Tidal Power

As a class we are going to have a debate about the pros and cons of tidal power in the Bay of Fundy. The class has been divided into 2 teams. Here they are...

PROS
Kristin, Justin, Jessica, Cary-Lynn, Brady, Zach S, Matthew E, Courtney, Jailen, Ashlynn, Dwanti, Nick, Sydney

CONS
Brandon, Anita, Jessey, Jarrika, Suzanne, Zach P, Jayden, Kennedy, Victoria, Wes, Kitarra, Brittany, Matthew F

This will be done mainly at school, but it is not limited to classtime. This is a website that gives a brief description of tidal power...

As well, these are websites that offer additional information on both sides of the argument.:
