Ocean Mechanical Harvest in Practice
From Renewable Energy News:
A pilot project in New York’s East River is evaluating the use of underwater turbines to generate electricity. If the project bears fruit, the technology could have widespread applications. The effort, formally called New York’s Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy Project, is being conducted by Verdant Power and the New York State Research & Development Authority.
As part of the project, Con Edison is using the electricity produced by the turbines to power a grocery store and parking garage on Roosevelt Island, which sits adjacent to midtown and upper Manhattan in the middle of the East River.

very interesting, this theory could be used everywhere there are rivers, support the green movement.
