Researchers in the United States are set to begin testing underwater turbine systems that can produce electricity from ocean water flows.
The same energy that drives ocean waves and currents may be a rich source of electrical power. Researchers in Florida say even gentle flows of two or three knots are enough to drive a propeller attached to an underwater turbine. Advocates say ocean power could be cheap and help replace oil or coal-based systems that are blamed for global warming. Read here, http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/rea/news/story?id=52241
