Damless hydro

Damless hydro or Damless hydro-electric is a renewable technology based on capturing the kinetic energy of rivers, channels of chutes, spillways, irrigation systems, tides and oceans^[1] ^[2].

Although the technology is in its infancy, the Bush administration in its FY 2007 budget request eliminates hydropower and geothermal research, venerable programs with roots in the energy crises of the 1970s, declaring them "mature technologies" that need no further funding.^[3]
