Alternative Energy: Where Salt Water Mixes with Fresh

Cool article on a discovery about the ability to extract electricity from the mixture of salt water with fresh water. That would prove revolutionary because of all the fresh water rivers that empty into oceans in developing nations in Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

Scientists all say the ideas are sound, it is the practical application that will be difficult or nigh impossible. The biggest problem is the any renewable energy source that involves salt water or the ocean inevitably fails because the oceans are so corrosive.

However, as another potential stream of energy for humanity's insatiable demand, we cannot overlook any possibility.
