Nuclear reactor forced to shut down after river water got too hot to cool plant August 16, 2007
The Tennessee Valley Authority shut down one of three units at the Browns Ferry nuclear plant Thursday because water drawn from a river to cool the reactor was too hot, a spokesman said. "We don't believe we've ever shut down a nuclear unit because of river temperature," said a plant spokesman. Water drawn from the Tennessee River exceeded a 90-degree average over 24 hours. http://www.buzzflash.net/story.php?id=22159

Tidal Wave Power
MarineTurbines.com
Marine current turbines work, in principle, much like submerged windmills, but driven by flowing water rather than air. They can be installed in the sea at places with high tidal current velocities, or in a few places with fast enough continuous ocean currents, to take out energy from these huge volumes of flowing water. These flows have the major advantage of being an energy resource which is mostly as predictable as the tides that cause them, unlike wind or wave energy which respond to the more random quirks of the weather system.

PG&E initiating wave power research
February 28, 2007. Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) today announced the first steps toward developing generation projects that could convert the abundant wave energy off the northern coast California into electricity.
