Large Hydroelectric Reservoirs

Not Green,  Not Clean, and Not renewable

STOP THE GREENWASHING – STOP THE DAM LIES

“GREEN” MEGA HYDROELECTRIC IS A MYTH — IT IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF THE CLIMATE CRISES

Undeterred, after years of being warned by scientists of serious climate and ecological impacts, hydroelectric corporations with their large reservoir dams and flow regulation have altered the hydrological balance of the planet and in doing so have disrupted the sensitive equilibrium of the forces that control our climate and sustain healthy ecosystems. This source of power generation, directly, thermally and chemically contaminates many spheres of the earth including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere and the cryosphere. The hydro industry has never been held accountable for this. We will offer available scientific information and historical accounts that explain why we cannot remain detached in climate change discussions from the impacts of large dams and reservoirs.
