Do you know what a salt pond can do? It can power your house! The generater for this power is made out of salt and water. Plus, it can fit in your back yard.

Just think what the Great Salt Lake can do! Think, a salt pond the size of a sand box can power your house. Now think what a lake can do. With all that power most coal power plants could be shut down.
