and is pretty shit at providing electricity

destroys the envirorment

i said 'degrees of punishment' up to and including death

Nuclear and hydroelectric are the greenest ones you can ever get

hydroelectric is less green than nuclear

and nuclear relies on stripmining

Nuclear yeah

but even then, there are some people you can only kill once

lol

@Lucienne d'Anwyl lol, rivers mess up THEMSELVES

and drowning towns causes water pollution and messes up water collection

not to mention fucking up the local ecology

remember

the primary reason for dams existing

hydroelectric is BASED because u need to re-route the river to provide DRINKING WATER anyway

isnt for power

its for drinking water

and flood control

building unnecessary dams is mega bad for the environment

saying that moving the river is bad is like saying feeding the people is bad

colorado river barley reaches the ocean and only at certain times of the year because of the hoover dam

prioritize

See all these bends and bits that were river but now are cut-off lakes?

Rivers are not static

They constantly change

moving rivers isnt the problem

creating massive artificial lakes is

cutting off fish migration, all sorts of things

without the Hoover Dam, southern CA is a barren waste-land without electrical powoer

Human input in its change is miniscule compared to natural happenings

burying towns is not very good for the environment

Don't everblow the human ability

We ain't that mighty

human ability creates artificial lakes

lol

@Lucienne d'Anwyl I think people who design these are smart enough to take fish into account.

dont underestimate them

the people who design dams do it for humans

mainly drinking water and lfood control

who gives a fuck about fish when without the freshwater, millions of people die

they dont care about the ecology
