Hydro-Electric

The world needs gargantuan amounts of clean energy moving forward, making this an area of colossal and growing opportunity for disruptive innovations. Here are some of the fascinating energy ideas and technologies that made us most hopeful in 2023.

While hydroelectric dams are capable of generating a lot of electricity, they drastically disrupt the environment. Scientists have now proposed a simpler but still effective alternative, in which electric trucks replace such dams.

Hydropower plants that leverage the force of falling water to generate electricity are already an important part of the global energy mix, but by bringing floating solar panels into the mix, a new study suggests they may have much more to offer.

Margot Krasojević has unveiled a new conceptual work, and as usual, it's thought-provoking, abstract, and ambitious. The proposal envisions a coastal sculpture gallery that uses hydroelectric energy to power up to 200 homes.

Toyota has announced that the newly refreshed 2016 RAV4 crossover will include a hybrid gasoline-electric model, making it the eighth hybrid in Toyota’s lineup.
