Could New York City's rivers power its famous lights?
A new tidal energy project located in New York City's East River has the potential to create electricity that would be one of the first commercial installations of "hydrokinetic" projects in the US. The wave and tidal energy business, which is still in early stages of development, has been divided between large-scale installations and a focus on cheaply-deployed units that could be more easily installed to take advantage of the natural movement of waves and tides.
