In Portland, turbines in water pipes harvest green energy for the city

LucidPipes http://www.lucidenergy.com/lucid-pipe/ harvest renewable low-cost energy from the water flowing through gravity-fed pipes.

The most effective way to harvest renewable energy is to acquire it from existing sources without too much disruption to the current infrastructure. We have already seen schemes in London and New York which transform waste products — including sewer fat , organic food waste and excess heat from the London Underground — into green energy.

While many companies are developing solutions for individual consumers, the most productive green energy schemes will be those which win the support of local governments and can impact the energy usage of entire cities. Where should Lucid Energy take their product next?
