This is probably the most depressing part about hydro. A lot of it is old and the environmental damage is done. So now everywhere in the US is being faced with either expensive refurbishments, loss of generation capacity, or the potential for yet another "this dam broke down and flooded a city" story. I'm not really for adding new hydro, but removing old hydro feels like such a waste.
