Richard R LeeThis is not conventional #Hydropower in terms of #generatingscheme. It is more akin to #WaveEnergy - #OceanEnergy, but semantics aside it is still an #EcoKiller. Why do people continue to pursue such folly when there is sufficient #WindEnergy & #SolarEnergy is unfathomable other than in the pursuit of #greed. Rivers and Lakes dry up (or experience low volumes). This scheme will fail like all other #Hydro is these days. #HydroGrifters. #GriftersGonnaGrift. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/30/hydropower-great-lakes-clean-energy?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
#HydroPowerMadness. #Sustainable at whose expense? #HydroPower is an #ECOKiller and is anything but #CarbonFree. #JustSayNO. #RemoveTheDams (All of them). Let these Rivers run #FastandFree from #SourceToSea. @ferasrehman
#Hydropower is dead. #putaforkinit.
This #ECOKiller from centuries past is easily replaced with #RenewableEnergy and #BESS. #RemoveTheDams and choose #renewables.

Drought Costs U.S. Hydropower Billions While Increasing Emissions, Study Finds
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.
#ProTip for #EUEnergy; #Hydropower is NOT a #RenewableEnergy source. It is an #ECOKiller. But you already know this. @Energy4Europe
#Hydropower is dead, along with the #BaseloadParadigm. #RenewableEnergy & #BESS have replaced them both. Put an end to this #ECOKiller and #RemoveTheDams everywhere.
#FERC has been foot dragging on #Decarbonization for some time now. During that time, the unexpected architecture for the #NewGrid has emerged (Interconnected #Batteries). It will no longer be about #Baseload and #Generation by #FossilFuel or #ECOKiller platforms, but about 100% #Renewables charging #BESS & #LDES sites & serving load as required. Now, Get the job done. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/13/climate/electric-grid-overhaul-ferc.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
#ProTip; #HydroElectricity is NOT #RenewableEnergy. It’s an #ECOKiller and NOT #Sustainable. More reasons to send the #DigitalGrifters packing and transition to actual #Renewables.

More #HydroPowerBullshit. It's not coming back and it's well past time to #RemoveTheDams.
#PutAForkInIt. #HydroElectricity is a 19th century solution and an #ECOKiller. Besides, the #BaseLoadParadigm is dead (this includes #NuclearEnergy).
It's #RenewableEnergy or NOTHING going forward. #WindEnergy - #SolarEnergy - #OceanEnergy + #BESS.
