Krouse claims that a dozen of his generators on riverbeds in fast-moving water could produce up to 250 MW, as much electricity as a small coal-fired plant--without the greenhouse-gas emissions. On a smaller scale, the same technology could power homes, clinics or schools in remote villages. "It has the potential to change millions of people's lives," says Krouse...
...Hastings project underscores the potential for inland dam-free hydropower--30,000 MW, roughly 10% of existing U.S. coal-burner capacity, according to U.S. Department of Energy estimates. The green lobby, which fights dams, is not yet sure what to make of dam-free hydro, but it is wary. True, you can pull a turbine out of the water if things go badly--but "you don't just put one turbine in the water," says Robbin Marks of American Rivers.

...Louis (the new Busch Stadium) and finished in Cincinnati (the Great American Ballpark). In between, we visited Chicago (Wrigley), Detroit (Comerica), and Pittsburgh (PNC). On our way, we enjoyed the fruits of the local industry: Bud Light in Beer Town, Old Style in Chi-Town, Yuengling in coal country—all, naturally, in ballpark bleachers. We didn’t skip the gigantic Cheese Coneys in Cincinnati, but maybe we should have...
