Actually this is something that I have looked at in the past, when I was studying the work of Viktor Schauberger. I remember someone making the case that the current design for hydroelectric plants has a big negative impact on the habitat of the river where the dam was built. Fish that would thrive in fresh running water would not make it in a lake and those that did were usually in trouble when they hit the turbines. Also the environment after the dam was affected by the flow limitation and control by humans.Posted by Wade Frazier (here)
This past weekend, I was with a friend who asked me some energy questions, the kind that I rarely get, and we talked about the Gulf Spill and Fukushima, and as I talked about how we get a lot of our energy here from hydroelectric (which I obviously have mixed feelings about http://www.ahealedplanet.net/energy1.htm#run ), I also discussed the current energy sources, and she said that hydroelectric was the only one that was not “poisonous.” I had not heard it described that way before, but that is apt.
So I would not say that it is not "poisonous", but it's probably least so.![]()
