Calling a dam destructive to the environment is way too loaded. Dams do destroy ecosystems, but they create new ones. It's not like they tear down tropical forest to build a parking lot. If the destruction affects endangered species, I may land on the no-dam side. Otherwise, it's a preference question. Do you prefer changing an healthy ecosystem into another healthy ecosystem or do you prefer building a thermal/nuclear power plant? I prefer the renewable one.
