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...

And Tehran's confidence in toughing out any threatened consequences will be reinforced by the divisions evident among the major powers as the U.S. and its European allies push for sanctions against Iran...
