In-stream flow (or hydrokinetic) energy converters in rivers may offer a workable and effective option to expand renewable energy and limit carbon emissions in the United States, according to new research. While the potential for in-stream flow energy harvesting systems has already been demonstrated for rivers with fixed beds, researchers now developed a scaled demonstration of hydrokinetic energy generated from a river channel with a sandy bed.

UC Davis College of Engineering California is accelerating its rollout of clean energy, even as the White House is racing to unravel climate regulations. On Tuesday evening, the California Assembly passed a bill requiring 100 percent of the state's electricity to come from carbon-free sources by the end of 2045, putting one of the world's most aggressive clean-energy policies on track for the governor's desk.
