Go with the Flow
Underwater = No Angry Psychos 
Virginia-based Verdant Power (www.verdantpower.com), working with DOE and with support from the city, is running an experiment in the East River that may soon bring some (not too much) extra power to Gotham. Unlike the Cape Wind hysterics still playing out off Nantucket with wind turbines, water turbines go down easier, even for the most sensitve neo-aesthete. May eventually be able to ramp up to 1 Gw if the economics and politics work out.
