Impressive Pace of Development in Hydrokinetics
I’m rooting hard for my friends at hydrokinetic start-up Littoral Power Solutions to develop their product quickly and get into the game while there is still time. There is never a good time for dawdling in the renewable energy industry, and that’s especially true given the progress that GE has made recently in this space, with its new turbine engineered for low-head run-of-river hydro.
While it’s far from a pure-play renewable energy concern, GE, with its recent purchase of Alstom Power, moved another step in that direction. What’s more, it’s obviously investing considerable resources in this arena. That’s really good to see, as it re-enforces the notion that we see all around us, the rapid migration to clean energy resources.
Craig,
I wish your friends at Littoral Power Solutions all the best with their R&D . I’m pleased to see the DOE contributing to making such research possible.
Thanks. You certainly do pay attention; I’ll give you that.
Probably there would be a good demand for low head hydro systems.
