Mighty Mississippi to Power 1.5 Million Homes

Mighty Mississippi to Power 1.5 Million Homes

If Free Flow Power Corporation gets its way, that is.

The company claims that for $3 billion it can fertilize the Mississippi river bed with 160,000 small electric turbines and churn out 1,600 MW of clean electricity from the river’s flows.

That’s enough juice to power a million and a half homes. And it says it can do it at a price that’s competitive with fossil fuels -- maybe even by 2012.
