Hydro Cleaner Than Coal? Maybe Not.

Peruvian president offers hydropower to Brazil as alternative energy source | www.iht.com
The World Commission on Dams Report 2000 concluded that hydro power projects are expensive; prone to significant cost and schedule overruns; rarely reach design capacity or availability; adversely impact ecosystems upstream and downstream; displace large numbers of people and provide few employment benefits; and discriminate against indigenous peoples and women.
Research undertaken over the past 10 years in Canada and Brazil provides overwhelming evidence that large tropical hydro power plants are neither environmentally friendly nor sustainable.
Evidence from these studies concludes that large tropical hydro power projects release, on a continuing basis, more CO2 into the atmosphere than an equivalent coal-fired power plant.
