Various Approaches To Hydrokinetics
Of the many dozens of articles I’ve written on hydrokinetics over the past four years since the inception of 2GreenEnergy, I’ve expressed a whole bunch of skepticism. Fans of run-of-river need to contend with the fact that, as least as …
Energy from Sea Waves
Here’s an article on energy from sea waves, to which I have mixed emotions about calling readers’ attention. The subject is exciting, and very little progress appears to be being made on it, so any news is intriguing. But man, …

New Concept in Hydrokinetics
I had a terrific meeting this morning with one of my “Craig Shields – At Your Service” clients on the East Coast, this one involving a new concept in hydrokinetics. It’s always cool to be paid, albeit modestly, to review …
Some Properties Have the Potential for Micro-Hydro
I was lucky enough to stay on a magnificent property in Northern California this past weekend, an Italian-style villa made even more spectacular by a rushing river running through it, which bathed my fellow guests and me in what is …

A Conversation on Hydrokinetics
Reader: Hi Craig. This is an interesting report from DOE stating that there are over 30,000 potential hydroelectric sites in the US where hydro power could be used with minimal environmental impact as there are already structures in place in the …
Lockheed Martin Sails Into Wave Energy
Here’s what Lockheed Martin and its technology partner Ocean Power Technologies are doing in wave energy. I’ve seen similar concepts, and I’ve always been skeptical. Will this generate electricity? Of course. Will it do so cost-effectively? I’m not sure.
Prescription for Hawaii: Renewables, Electric Transportation
Craig Rainey writes: I just arrived back from a trip to Maui, HI and it continues to amaze me that they have 7000 acres of sugar cane, producing two crops/year, 90% refined into alcohol on island, over half of the …
