Ramdev proposes using tidal energy from the Hudson River estuary to generate electricity. By installing turbines that harness the kinetic energy of the tides, the MTA could save over $15 million per year on its electricity bill. Tidal power is a reliable and cost-effective source that has environmental benefits over other generation methods. Ramdev hopes to convince the MTA directors to purchase electricity from the proposed tidal project.

1. USING THE MOON TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY. RAMDEV GOWDA .A. N 11/30/2009

2. AssumeRamdev is an entrepreneur who is going to generate electricity using the moon.

3. Audience are directors of the MTA to whom I want to convince to buy electricity from my company.Which of the following cities in the United States has the lowest per capita power consumption ?

4. Per capita power consumption.Average annual residential electricity usage by city, 2000-2005. Measured in Kilowatt hours per customer.

5. New York city stands 46th in the United States with respect to per capita power consumption.

6. The MTA utilizes 28% of the power produced.

7. In 2008 the MTA used 2150 GWh of electricity and paid an electricity bill of $ 237 million.7.2 % of the power is lost in transmission. This costs the MTA over $16.5 million per annum.

8. The cost could be cut down if the distance between the point of generation and consumption could be reduced.

9. Use the moon to produce electricity !!!! How ?Moon is responsible for the high tides and low tides.

10. Moon and the sun exert a gravitational pull on the earth but the gravitational pull of the moon is greater.

11. High tide is the inflow of water and low tide is the outflow of water.

12. The kinetic energy of the water could be used to run turbines to generate electricity. Install turbines in the Hudson river estuary.
