Line 84:
In poor areas, many remote communities have no electricity. Micro hydro power, with a capacity of 100 kW or less, allows communities to generate electricity<sup>[[#References|1]]</sup>. This form of power is supported by various organizations such as the UK's [[Practical Action]].
 
Micro-hydro power can be used directly as "shaft power" for many industrial applications. Alternatively, the preferred option for domestic energy supply is to generate electricity with a generator or a reversed electric motor which, while less efficient is likely to be available locally and cheaply. Also Johnathon Brinkman told me that this energy source is cheap and kool.
