Millions of dollars in subsidies for a Nova Scotia tidal
project is just one of the coming announcements as Ottawa boosts riskier forms
of renewable energy, says the federal natural resources minister.
Amarjeet Sohi said Friday at a G7 energy ministers meeting
that a $30-million contribution to a $117-million tidal project to harness the
immense power of the Bay of Fundy tides will be among a series of subsidies
given to kickstart innovations in emerging sectors across the country.
