slow water power
This article had a button for Blog with it and the window that came up when I clicked it said to copy & paste the formatted text so I did. Did it work? 
I'm glad they didn't say jump off a bridge.

It looks simple, but it's revolutionary. This is VIVACE, a device to harness energy in slow-moving water currents across the globe and turn it into electricity.
VIVACE, which mimics the way fish swim in currents, is to debut next year in the Detroit River, powering the light for a new wharf between Hart Plaza and the Renaissance Center.
"Everybody is excited by this," said Mike Bernitsas, director of the Marine Renewable Energy Laboratory at the University of Michigan and inventor of the device. ...
