![]() LOW POWER, BIG PROBLEMS How Low-Power Hydropower Dams Hurt Rivers
By: Rich Bowers Friday April 17, 2009
Region: National Key Words: climate change | economic impacts | environmental impacts | hydropower dams | renewable energy | small dams | subsidies LOW POWER, BIG PROBLEMS Hydopower Reform Coalition's paper on how Low-Power Hydropower Dams Hurt Rivers.
Whether it is in response to the environmental crisis of climate change or our overreliance on imported fuels, it is clear that America needs to act quickly to replace fossil fuel energy technologies with renewable energy. It is equally imperative, however, that we do not destroy the environment we are trying to save by blindly rushing to develop low-emissions energy sources that will result in serious environmental harm. We will not solve our energy problems by building new dams – especially inefficient low-power dams where the energy benefits fail to outweigh the environmental impacts – but we will cause irreparable harm to our rivers. ![]() New York Project Will Receive Production Tax Credits
