Are these guys all gathering together to pray for a miracle for a source of power that will turn their lights on tonight?
20% of the world’s electricity is supplied by hydro-electric power. 0.9% of our power is supplied TOTALLY by solar and wind. Why waist the $$$ fooling around with these “boutique” sources of energy?? They’re unreliable and must be backed up by nuclear, coal, oil, and hydro anyway; plants that must be kept on line to to be effective.
Let’s reconstruct these hydro facilities to make them more efficient electrically and environmentally. There is no carbon footprint, the land is already there (unsettled and paid for) to create the lakes. There is plenty of room for new hi-tech fish ladders in place of some of the gates and they would be NEW. A WIN-WIN for everyone……………. and the fish.
