Cheap, renewable, clean energy. There's just one problem.

Tom has developed the ability to both teleport and time travel merely by using wipe transitions. Soon he will become unstoppable.

It's amazing that Tom was able to do all this in one take. His patience is immaculate.

I love that Tom is now a massive YouTube personality but we’ll still find him on the floor of his bathroom leaning over his tub for a $0 science demonstration that’s still, somehow, very entertaining 😅 A treasure

I actually did my engineering bachelor's project on this. There was a station there, at Annapolis, for a long time, but after studies found it to be a major hazard to fish populations it was shut down just a couple years ago in 2019

This really encompasses the human condition.

"Do you think it's possible?"
"The project was a total failure; everything broke. So, maybe. We'll keep trying anyways."

[RedHeadForester]

It's not the editing I'm most impressed by, it's how well matched the pitch, volume, and speed of your speech is. Nicely done.

The biggest change in the tides is actually Tom Scott doing a VPN provider promo, and a factually accurate, non-hyperbolic one to boot.

[moriarty]

Im still baffled everytime Tom does an actual VPN sponsorship and his ad is sounding way more legit than the magical promises everybody else gives. Also im really happy for him that he gets big sponsors so we can enjoy a lot more Tom Scott Videos in the future.

Annapolis Royal Generating Station used the tides of the Bay of Fundy for 35 years to generate power, but to say it had issues would be an understatement. It killed nearly a quarter of the fish that tried to pass through it, contributed to increases in erosion, and once even accidentally trapped a humpback whale on the upstream side for several days.

The video editing in this one is amazing, mad respect, Tom !

[Nlovlyn]

I really enjoyed the editing on this one! It definitely fit this dynamic scene and gave us an opportunity to experience several locations throughout a day in only 4min!

[AlexxForest]

I never thought a potential source of renewable power could be too strong. I always assumed there was a "happy medium" where the power generation machines would be able to withstand the natural forces, while also still generating power at a reasonable pace. Nice to see we can't overcome everything yet.

[sevret]

I can never stop loving your NordVPN sponsorship segment. No BS, no promise of safety, just "I can pretend to be in Britain while abroad".

[AnnikaOakinnA]

I think this might be my favorite video yet, in terms of the way everything is neatly fit together -- shots, scripts, concepts, it's a very satisfying assemblage. Plus it's always fun to see cool stuff in my country getting shouted out!

[TheWildSlayer]

The writing to get the transitions right was a really nice touch, satisfying to watch and I'm amused by the low budget demonstration using the bathtub lmao

[veruspatri]

As somebody who grew up by the Bay of Fundy I always appreciate when someone draws light to my corner of the world.
It even amazes me, to be able they want to put your feet in the water on the beach and a few hours later you have to walk several hundred feet from where you were sitting to touch the same water.

[IncoherentOrange]

Someone who isn't from New Brunswick knows that it exists!? Wow.
Check out the bay if you're going through the Maritimes, the tidal cliffs are incredible. What those tides can do to a turbine blade is a mere taste of the sheer power of the place.

[Jaydenbb]

I always have a rule about ads that if its any longer than a minute, I'll skip through it, but Tom gets his point across so well in such a short amount of time. If more people could get to the point the way that Tom does, watching videos on youtube would be a much more enjoyable experience

[TheSmithPlays]

Hope you had a good time in eastern canada! So cool to see you cover something on my home province 😁

[jurepotocnik]

I absolutely love how he made a concise presentation. Brilliant!
