RE: Energy - Hydroelectric

in #steemstem5 years ago

Thank you, @artemislives, for your comment.

I am no longer a fan of hydropower after this article. You are correct, of course, in that I could have written more about relocation and the permanent impact on the ecosystem.

I wrote about relocation in the section of this post entitled ”human toll.” I referenced a YouTube video that conveyed the issue much more passionately than I could.

I also wrote of some effect of changes to the ecosystem as a result of hydro, but I didn't expound on it.

Thank you for pointing these flaws out. If I can find reliable footage of the adverse effects of hydro on the environment, I will add another article. Until then, I will work to make these errors non-existent in future articles.

Surprisingly, reliable videos criticizing hydro with evidence have been sparse.

Google the essays of Arundhati Roy on dams. An amazingly articulate woman I had the privilege to meet many years ago.

Thank you very much. I will do as you recommend.
