Almost nothing illustrates the disingenuousness of the Greenies more that their attitude towards hydro. When they’re trying to make the strained case that as ‘renewables’, solar and wind are actually practical, they’ll always include hydro as ‘renewable’, since in most locations, hydro provides more energy (and does so reliably) than windmills and solar panels. Meanwhile, they’ll do everything possible to keep new dams from being built, while also doing what they can to tear down old ones.
Exactly right. The leftist illogical beliefs are astonishing. They are perfectly happy holding two opposing points of view at the same time.
Dams Bad — no good because reservoirs silt up, stop fish spawning, and they ruin vistas. But they have zero concern for millions of windmills despoiling our country’s magnificent vistas. Dams are hidden away in remote locations where you can only spot them on an airplane flight. Windmills are everywhere and close to cities and towns.
Dams Good — “renewable” energy when they want to take credit for it. But don’t build any new ones and, better yet, tear down old ones.
