(choose chapter or problem)

A power plant located at a river's mouth where freshwater river currents meet saltwater ocean tides can generate electricity by exploiting the difference in composition of the freshwater and salt water. The technology for generating power is called reverse electrodialysis. While only small-scale demonstration power plants using reverse electrodialysis have been developed thus far, some observers have high expectations for the approach. Investigate the technical readiness and economic feasibility of this renewable power source for providing 3%, or more, of annual U.S. electricity by 2030. Present your conclusions in a report, including a discussion of potential adverse environmental effects of such power plants and at least three references.
