For further information, try the web site provided by J.D. Adams on July 10th. I drew information initially from an article in the Eugene Register-Guard, wherein a reporter provided an extensive report on the project. They've chosen a site where they have an existing but abandoned pipeline, which they can utilize for their electrical cabling, and a presently non-used electrical sub-station which they can also utilize. A state university isn't overloaded with assets, of course, and coming up with this sort of stuff allows them to proceed. As I said, they are being very, very careful about how they proceed. This is no industrial group prepared to run over any opposition. Addendum to my earlier comment. For further information, try the web site provided by J.D. Adams on July 10th.

They invision colonies of the things, maybe a couple hundred closely packed together. Somehoww, they seem to have the fishermen mollified -- the gumint is slow in some cases with its response.

Sounds promising. The next step would be cleaning up the waterway so the fish we eat aren't chalk-full with PCBs. A free standing turbine device. Sounds promising.
