hi my name is Chuck Taylor and I’m an

ocean technologist here at Force I also

known as the fun the ocean Research

Center for Energy

so here at Forest we’re doing research

for our turbine developers to determine

the physical characteristics of our test

site here not only do we want to know a

tie in terms of tied speed temperature

that’s high tight that sort of thing but

we want to know ahead of time for the

turbines come what the species in the

bay are doing well that one turbine

developers come in we can see if there’s

been any environmental impact but if you

look at different provinces across

Canada we have some of the highest

fossil fuel use in in the country so we

have this resource here it’s on tap can

provide a lot of electricity for Nova

Scotia renewable creating electricity so

if you want to be part of the solution

there I think getting into the renewable

industry is definitely something that

you want to look into that’s kind of the

Forefront of where we’re going in

society trying to get off fossil fuels

so it’s growing industry it’s the very

early stages so if you’re into

Innovation and new technology that means

the industry to be in right now you know

on a high level I feel like we’re doing

something that’s beneficial for Aid the

environment and be our Province here so

those two things are very important to

me and I find those things highly

motivating
