Hydrokinetic Power

Ocean-current hydrokinetics has drawbacks, but harm to aquatic life isn’t one of them.

The real problem is the cost per KWhr of the electricity they generate.

When 2GreenEnergy was launched in 2009, the world was abuzz with the developments in a great number of variations on the theme of hydrokinetics: ocean-current, wave, tidal and run-of-river among the most popular.  Given the plummeting prices of solar and wind, all that’s left of this is the hobbyists, and the folks who are content to focus on niche applications.

If I owned the place shown below, that might as well be on a different planet in terms of access to the grid, I’d have some sort of wave or tidal solution in place in a heartbeat.
