Portland Now Generates Electricity From Turbines Installed In City Water Pipes
Water flowing through the city’s pipes will generate electricity like a dam with none of the environmental consequences.
You’d be forgiven if the phrase “Portland goes green with innovative water pipes” doesn’t immediately call to mind thoughts of civil engineering and hydro-electric power.
And yet, that’s exactly what Oregon’s largest city has done by partnering with a company called Lucid Energy to generate clean electricity from the water already flowing under its streets and through its pipes.
