The company says a mile-long series of submerged 15-foot diameter turbines can capture and convert that energy efficiently enough to produce up to 10 megawatts of electricity.

Palo Verde Nuclear plant puts out 3,733 megawatts

We need more nuke plants, not these feel good but completely trivial projects.

I totally agree. I live 45 miles from San Onofre near San Clemente California--I think they should put 2 more reactors right next to the 2 that are already there, and then 4 more on the other side of the freeway.

Let's do some math: @10MW per mile it would take 374 miles of submerged turbines to replace Palo Verde--or more properly stated, ONE nuclear power plant can replace 374 miles of underwater turbines......NO CONTEST---MORE NUKES PLEASE!!!!!
