Ep 6. Operation Tide Power / Operation Hardshell / Operation Victory or the Ice Barrier

Our Plankton friends find out that Mister Kyoto is planning to build a tidal power station (to produce electricity from tidal motion) near the coast. They must absolutely stop this monstrosity from coming to fruition! The commando sets off to find the foundations; after a while, they chance upon the turbine powering the plant (it's actually the paddle wheel of a pedal boat!). And so they set about destroying it. / A fortress has been set up on the beach (actually, it's a big container with three openings, for waste sorting). Medusa commands that the edifice be destroyed before Kyoto's legions turn up! But Star's ammunition is not enough to blast through the fortress' 'armor'. The commando is going to have to look for another solution: they must hire a bunch of crabs, who will use their claws to cut away at the wall. But Star finds it hard coming to terms with having to collaborate with what he finds out to be "trash cans of the ocean" (and therefore pro-Kyoto traitors). / Bad news for our plankton, the world's reserves of oil and gas are running out, and fast. Happily, recent discoveries have shown that the formidable North Pole contains almost 25% of the world's fossil fuel reserves, that is to say more than enough to deliver a fatal blow to the climate of the planet. Our poor plankton have been transferred to the "Northern Front" to serve on the ice barrier under Krill Bill's orders. Will they find a way to harness the incredible stock of fossil fuel buried in the Arctic?
