Marine hydrokinetic (MHK) turbines are used to capture the energy of moving water much like wind turbines capture the energy of moving air. Since water is roughly 800 times denser than air, MHK turbines could potentially produce significantly more power than wind turbines. Marine turbines are mostly independent of weather, which can have a large impact of the effectiveness of other forms of renewable energy … 8, record 1, English, - marine%20turbine
