Utility pulls plug on Puget Sound tidal power plan

#Energy

A utility has pulled the plug on a project that would have tested generating electricity from tidal waters flowing in and out of Puget Sound. The Snohomish County Public Utility District said Tuesday it cannot put two turbines under water near Whidbey Island because the U.S. Energy Department decided not to share in the rising costs.
