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.

#RemoveTheDams and end these #ECOKillers. Let these Rovers run #FastAndFree from #SourceToSea.
Actual #RenewableEnergy and #BESS can do the job just fine. @auscandoc@med-mastodaon.com

#Water (AKA #Hydro) is NOT a #Renewable, especially in the desert!

#WTF.

It's #RenewableEnergy or NOTHING. #JustSayNo.

‘A scam all around’: Navajo Nation groups oppose hydropower projects

One such project in Black Mesa, Arizona, is awaiting initial permits and has sparked fears over water use in an area already grappling with accessibility to it

#HydropowerBullshit from #HydropowerGrifters. The #BaseloadParadigm is dead and so is #Hydro. It’s an #ECOKiller and NOT a #Renewable.

Electric mountain: the power station that shows the beauty of infrastructure

The long read: Utilitarian as they may be, some civic projects are so monumental they approach the sublime. And one of the most elegant is hidden inside a mountain in Wales

This is #HydropowerBullshit. It’s just like #NuclearBullshit. #BehavioralChange, #RenewableEnergy and #BESS saved the grid during the #HeatDome of 2022. In the future it will do it again in spite of #HydroElectricity and #NuclearEnergy. Don’t be bullshitted. California’s blistering heat sparked power shortages last summer. Here’s this year’s forecast https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-05-25/californias-blistering-heat-sparked-power-shortages-last-summer-heres-this-years-forecast

A Hydropower Renaissance, but Where Are the Giant Dams? https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/05/02/climate/hydroelectric-power-energy.html?smid=tw-share

A New Hydropower Boom Uses Pumped Storage, Not Giant Dams

So-called pumped storage, rather than conventional dams, is emerging as the future of deriving electricity from water's gravitational qualities.
