No-Dam Hydro Possibilities: Hot Dam, Hawaii!


Hawaii has a fairly minimal amount of hydroelectric power. And we don't really want to build dams in fragile ecosystems. However, a new system from Hydro Green Energy can be slung beneath a barge and used to generate electricity by capturing energy from rivers without building up a superstructure from the waterways' bottom. Test projects are currently running in five states. Hawaii should be the sixth.
