Funny thing is, when talking green energy, hydroelectric is RARELY mentioned.
All they push is the most polluting, environmentally destructive *green* sources going.

To continue with my earlier report on the benefits of global warming, now let’s look at global cooling.
Crop yields will decline, areas where crops could be grown will no longer support the crops. There will be less land viable for pasturing. Heating requirements will go up.
So we see the advantages to global warming and the disadvantages to global cooling.
That’s because Hydro means dams. Building dams is evil. The left wants to un-build dams.
They push the stuff that doesn’t work while criticizing any energy source which does work.
They don’t like energy. Having access to energy helps a society get wealthy, and the Left find it easier to exploit poor people.
And they never talk about nuclear power. Nuclear plants produce zero greenhouse gases. Yet we are not focused on building nuclear plants as part of our energy future.
Well, doesn’t everyone know, that electricity magically is there, when you plug in your phone to recharge???
sarcasm.
My understanding is that the potential sites for hydroelectric are rather limited, and that many of the promising ones have been used.
Of course, there’s also environmental pushback, because dams can always affect something.
The watermelons are the biggest bunch of Dumbasses in history. Useful/useless idiots.
I know there are drawbacks.
There, fixed it.
Yup. Electricity comes out of unicorn butts.
CRANK UP the Lawyers and tie up everything Biden tries. If nothing else it SLOWS the effort.
Exactly. The "Big Guy" and his Cokehead son can't make as much shaking down domestic energy producers as they can foreigners. Besides, this way he can seem to placate the Green Simpletons of the AOC branch.
Those pioneers who built water wheels by streams were so evil, pure evil. /s
I’ve visited our coal plants here in Kentucky. Most of the space is taken up by stuff used to clean up the exhaust, with a small part of the plant used to actually burn coal and produce energy. They’re retiring three coal plants right now, but nobody (that I’m aware of) knows what we are going to do to replace that capacity.
They’re expanding solar, but that is a drop in the bucket compared to what even just one of those plants produced.
I’m not going to predict the future, but I’m thinking about getting my own solar and wind up and running on my property, for the coming brownouts. It’s amazing what you can do with an auto alternator and a few batteries.
This sounds like another one of Crazy Nancy’s ideas
Solar and wind can never work on a large scale, even if it were free. Both solar and wind require vast tracts of land. Solar farms make the land unusable for any other simultaneous use. Wind farms are very destructive to birds and bats. On a large scale would be an environmental disaster. Both solar and wind are intermittent and incompatible with societies energy needs without vast energy storage. The technology for efficient large scale storage does not exist.
Killing the US energy supply isn’t the goal - its a means to the end of killing the US.
