Saint Andrew’s in on the Bay of Fundy, which has about the highest
tides in the world, which suggested this painting for this haiku.
The middle line, makes sense –tidal power to the grid: Marine currents, unlike many other forms of
renewable energy, are a consistent source of kinetic energy because of regular
tidal cycles influenced by the phases of the moon. Unlike wind, wave and solar
power, intermittency is not a problem, so tidal power can be a reliable input
to the electricity grid.
But, as with most of my haiku, where the
lines really are randomly selected and grouped, the end result is kind of a non
sequitur. Eventually I will try to make sense of these non sequiturs…
