The Energy Blog has a story about the AquaByOy 2.0, an experimental tidal power generator recently deployed off the coast of Oregon. It is not generating power right now, but collecting data that will be used to create a 250 kW test unit.
The article says that:
"A cluster of AquaBuOYs would have a low silhouette in the water. Located several miles offshore, the power plant arrays would be visible to allow for safe navigation and no more noticeable than a small fleet of fishing boats."
Safe, quiet, and unobtrusive. Should not be any not-in-my-back-yard (NIMBY) problems with these. Can something this appealing be made inland?
