Hydro has some serious downsides for the ecosystem of whatever watershed it bottles up. Maybe newer implementations solve that?
- Retric 5y agoWe want some dams for water storage and flood control, having hydro power in those locations doesn’t add new environmental concerns. Small dams don’t produce significant power and can be removed. It is worth considering larger dams, but I doubt people are going to be willing to remove any major US dams any time soon.
