Green Energy

What's really amusing about this is that the name of the YT poster is "German Science Guy".

Here's the text description from the post:

The world’s first approved swarm power plant has gone into operation on the Rhine! The aim is to harness the Rhine’s current to drive 124 turbines. Similar plants are already planned for other cities as well. The system is capable of providing baseload power, meaning it generates electricity constantly, and at 8 cents per kilowatt-hour, the electricity price is competitive with solar and wind power. In this video, you’ll learn how swarm power plants work, how much electricity they produce, and just how much potential this technology holds.
