Overcoming Boundaries (Real and Imagined) to Hydrokinetic Power Development

摘要

Hydrokinetic power harnesses thernmotion of waves or the flow of tides, ocean currents or inland waterways to generate electricity without the impoundments or diversions used in traditional hydropower. Its proponents are quick to extol its many apparent virtues.rnLike other renewable power sources, hydrokinetic projects are renewable, emission-free and virtually silent. They create green jobs for local communities and decrease reliance on oil and natural gas.
