Low water levels in the United States caused significant economic losses for hydropower and increased emissions as natural gas plants fired up to fill the power supply gap, concludes a new study highlighting hydropower’s vulnerability to drought.
This #SeattleTimes analysis seems quite biased and flawed. Reuse of #Brownfield (much less #nuclearweapons) sites for massive #SolarFarms w/ #BESS should be the norm when replacing aging/failed #fossilfuel - #ECOKiller generating stations, such as #coal, #gas, #hydro & #nuclear and not to provide increased capacity to be squandered on the #cloud, #Bitcoin and #FakeAI. #Decarbonization, #Electrification, #BehavioralChange.
#Data, #Facts & #Science proved long-ago that #aquaculture is an #ECOKiller and has directly lead to the demise of #WildSalmon everywhere. As always, #Canada is a foot dragger and laggard in doing anything about it, especially #BritishColumbia. This move is #toolittle #toolate to save #WildPacificSalmon. #FishFarms #Ecocide #salmon.
