An architecture professor with an architecture student has designed a network of modular floating docks to harness clean energy for New York City. According the the designers, the tidal action of New York City rivers would be strong enough to run the system. The docking stations would plug into the conventional piers of New York City. Eventually, the piers would be extended further into the river to optimize clean energy generation while increasing public green space and tidal pools for wildlife.
