The video discusses the potential of tidal energy as a renewable power source, highlighting the first major attempt to harness this energy from the oceans. Despite facing negative publicity, significant engineering advances were made, proving the feasibility of generating electric power from the tides of Passamaquoddy Bay.

What was the primary goal of the project discussed in the first section?

• To develop solar energy

• To harness tidal energy

• To explore geothermal energy

• To improve wind energy

How was the project perceived by the media according to the second section?

• It was largely ignored

• It received mostly negative publicity

• It was praised for its innovation

• It was considered a minor success

What overshadowed the engineering advances made in the project?

• Positive media coverage

• Unfavorable publicity

• Government support

• Public enthusiasm

What did the engineering advances prove in the third section?

• That geothermal energy is more sustainable

• That electric power can be generated from tides

• That wind energy is more reliable

• That solar power is more efficient

Where was the successful generation of electric power from tides demonstrated?

• San Francisco Bay

• Passamaquoddy Bay

• Bay of Fundy

• Hudson Bay
