Today a portion of electricity is generated from water. It is the same principle but instead of crushing grains it spins a generator which then generates electricity.

HYDRO ENERGY
There is an abundance of potential energy stored in water, fast moving streams, rivers, lakes and even the ocean. When water moves, it does so using energy, a few hundred years ago people understood this and started to harness this power. They used a device called a watermill that would spin when the water pushed against it. This energy was transferred from the water to move the water mill.. The mill then turns a series of gears that are connected to grinders which then crushes grain.

Hydro electricity may be a viable option in the Caribbean for a clean renewable energy source. Economically, it is more sustainable than hydrocarbons. There are numerous options including tidal power, wave power, ocean thermal energy conversion and ocean currents.
