- monopoledance 6y agoFYI, hydropower has a fixed capacity due to obvious limitations, namely viable rivers to dam up. There is basically no option for hydro expansion left on earth. In that light, I think the "sustainable mining" argument is pretty flawed. We can't scale hydro- and geothermal power, but we need it for base load in a sustainable future. It's the worst energy resource to occupy.
