Hydroelectricity (excuse me if I am wrong) uses purely wind power to generate electricity. This means that the breeze has to be particularly stong for the turbines to turn in order for electricity to be generated. I guess what the biggest disadvantage of hydroelectricity is that it relies solely on the weather and those things that rely on the weather only are not completely reliable.
Another disadvantage of hydroelectricity is that it is incredibly expensive to set up the turbines.
The repair costs then must also be very high.
The last problem I could think of is that turbines are usually placed in rural, countryside areas which creates a whole new problem. It may not contribute to global warming as it does not create any pollution, however, it produces a lot of sound pollution and also becomes a bit of an eyesore when a big white turbine is placed in a landscape inhabitted by lush, green rolling hills and beautiful countrysides.

How does hydroelectric energy affect the environment in bad ways?
it dosent
What is hydroelectric energy or hydroelectric power?
hydroelectric energy is energy that comes from water
Bad thing about hydroelectric energy?
It is very expensive to get started and the required lake behind the dam floods cropland, houses, roads, orchards, and so forth.
What is hydrogwe energy?
There is no such thing as "hydrogwe" energy. However "hydroelectric" energy is electricity generated from falling water (such as that held behind a dam.
Amount of hydroelectric energy is available?
amount of hydroelectric energy is available
What city runs on hydroelectric energy?
What city runs on Hydroelectric energy?
How is hydroelectric energy recovered?
hydroelectric energy is found in the earth core
What industries rely on hydroelectric energy?
Since hydroelectric energy supplies electricity, any industry that uses electricity from a hydroelectric plant relies on this energy.
What is hydroelectric force?
Though this term is never really used, it would probably refer to the momentum/potential energy of water. So the thing driving a generator in a hydroelectric dam would be the water's hydroelectric force.
How is hydroelectric power bad?
Its not neccessarily a bad thing, but its not a good thing either. Using water for energy can ruin habitats by flooding and not letting water flow naturally. Its better than some sources of energy because it dreates no pollution, and water is a renewable resource. There are lots of arguments debating whether or not it's the best choice. What about you. Choose your argument, what side are you on?
Why is hydroelectric source of energy better than fuels for generating electrical energy?
hydroelectric energy is free to the fuel fossil
How does energy move through hydroelectric energy?
energy moves through hydroelectric energy because of all the heating and the movement of the whole source
