This whirlpool can power 300 homes, and fish can swim straight through it unharmed.
We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The turbines range in size from 15kW to 70kW and the 15kW unit (shown) requires a 1.7m drop and 1.6 cubic meters of water flow per second to produce rated capacity. At 100% CF, the 15kW unit would produce enough electricity to power ~10-15 homes, not 300. turbulent.be/_files/ugd/20e…

Temperatures in France soared as high as 35.8°C. It was the hottest temperature ever recorded in October in France. To reiterate - it was 35.8°C in France in OCTOBER!
There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate
