Mississippi River Will Power 1.5 M Homes !

The Mississippi River will be producing 1600 megawatts of constant, free energy-free emissions by 2017.Free Flow Power is the company who create this project. They will install tens of thousands f in-stream turbines at 59 sites stretching from St Louis to the Gulf of Mexico.

Many turbines even hundreds would be installed at each site and, all together, they would produce enough power to eliminate the need for two large coal-fired power plants.For the moment this project will be able to make some steps.First: Federal Energy Regulatory Comission has to approve the project and the second : they have to complete a detailed environmental analysis of the project.

This analysis could take three years.Free Flow Power has yet to demonstrate that their systems can operate at costs below that of natural gas power. If the project doesn't produce economical power, financing the project will be impossible.Free Flow Power, as far as we can tell, hasn't actually tested their turbines outside the laboratory.
In fact, Free Flow Power is not the only company working on in-stream hydroelectric because in New York a pilot project has already been installed.In my opinion this project will be approved,because it is very necessary for our environment.
