^Haha. Even worse than not running it by JEA is even claiming it is in the works. The St. John's River like most flat/Florida rivers is a slow moving river at .3 miles an hour and while there may be higher flows downtown where the river narrows, I doubt that is enough to generate anything. At 1 mph, barely any energy is produced. The bare minimum to even run hydrokinetic turbines is around 2 mph, with 5.5 mph and greater being optimal.

It took me less than 5 minutes of online research to figure that out. Hopefully people in Jax will catch on to Atkins...

Haven't you been paying attention? We're the city of the future! While pioneering autonomous shuttles weaving in & out of vibrant urban neighborhoods, we'll also lead the way on harvesting green renewable power from the St. Johns. It's like 2050 over here. What can't we do?
