-Does not burn fossil fuels, unlike other alternate energy fuels
- Hydroelectric power is a domestic source of energy, allowing each state to produce their own energy without being reliant on international fuel sources
- The energy generated through hydro power relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun, making it a renewable power source 
- Economically speaking, this hydroelectricity helps create jobs at the hydro dams ]]> 2019-04-08 13:41:48 UTC https://padlet.com/02greeder/nr00d03n22ab/wish/349492110 02greeder https://padlet.com/02greeder/nr00d03n22ab/wish/349492139 - Hydropower facilities can affect land use, homes, and natural habitats in the dam area. Reservoirs may cover people’s homes & important natural areas
-  Hydroelectric power plants can cause a loss of fish habitat, and lead to the entrapment of fish and the restriction of their passages. 
- The system depends on precipitation levels, which can fluctuate from year to year, causing instability. ]]> 2019-04-08 13:41:51 UTC https://padlet.com/02greeder/nr00d03n22ab/wish/349492139 02jweber https://padlet.com/02greeder/nr00d03n22ab/wish/349498393 Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity.]]> 2019-04-08 13:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/02greeder/nr00d03n22ab/wish/349498393 02greeder https://padlet.com/02greeder/nr00d03n22ab/wish/349498513  -Hydro power is produced for an average of 0.85 cents per kilowatt-hour (kwh).
-This price is cheaper compared to coal power, which costs about 9-26 cents per kilowatt-hour]]> 2019-04-08 13:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/02greeder/nr00d03n22ab/wish/349498513 02greeder https://padlet.com/02greeder/nr00d03n22ab/wish/349501581 Largest hydroelectric dam in the world producing on average 22,500 MW of electricity ]]> 2019-04-08 13:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/02greeder/nr00d03n22ab/wish/349501581
