Keep on scrolling and you'll gain better insight on Hydroelectricity. en-us 2019-04-10 14:40:08 UTC 2025-05-08 11:49:36 UTC hello@padlet.com 01klopez1 https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/350386941 2019-04-10 14:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/350386941 01klopez1 https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/350441633 Simply put, hydroelectricity works as flowing water spins the turbine which then turns the shaft that is connected to the electric generator.]]> 2019-04-10 16:35:06 UTC https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/350441633 01klopez1 https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/356233660 According to the Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company, Hydroelectricity power is produced on the average of $0.85 cents per kilowatt-hour. This is around 50% the cost of nuclear, 40% of fossil fuel, and 25% of natural gas.

This source of renewable energy supports the use of other intermittent sources of renewable sources. This source also happens to promote guaranteed energy and price stability.  Also, an economic benefit of hydroelectricity is its cheap price compared to the other non-renewable sources. ]]> 2019-05-03 13:49:24 UTC https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/356598160 01klopez1 https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/356600750 Though this source is non-polluting, it does impact land use, homes and natural habitats. This could disrupt wildlife, and even alter the water temperature and flow. ]]> 2019-05-03 13:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/356600750 01klopez1 https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/356604664 It's in the name! Electricity! As mentioned below under, "How does it work?" we see that water flows to spin turbines and turn shafts that are connected to electric generator. ]]> 2019-05-03 14:03:30 UTC https://padlet.com/01klopez1/36a9ut2dvrgt/wish/356604664
