Hydroelectric power stations certainly have their advantages and disadvantages, as do all forms of electrical generation. Probably the best solution is to use a combination of different means of producing electricity, with hydroelectric stations as part of the mix.

How do nuclear power stations operate?
Basically, all power stations adopt the same method to produce electricity. A turbine is caused torotate. A generator is attached to the shaft of the turbine. As the turbine turns, electricity is produced inthe generator. This electricity is sent out through transmission lines to a distribution station of theElectricity Board.In hydroelectric power stations, the turbine is turned by flowing water. In thermal power stations,steam is produced by heating water in a furnace which burns coal or oil. In nuclear power stations, thesteam is produced by the heat generated in the fission process.
How are hydroelectric plants and nuclear power plants the same?
The only similarity I can think of is that they both produce electricity
How do coal power stations and wind farms generate electricity?
Coal power stations burn coal to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. The burning coal releases carbon dioxide.Wind farms have blades which turn in the wind to spin electricity turbines to generate electricity. There are no harmful carbon dioxide emissions.
Why is it not accurate to call the electricity produced by burning hydrogen in power stations carbon free electricity?
It is not accurate to call the electricity being produce 'carbon free' because for the transaction to work parts of carbon dioxide are being pumped into the system.
How does hydroelectric energy affect the people that use it?
Hydroelectric energy reaches the user as electricity in the grid distribution system, the user can't tell where it comes from. So the question should just be how does electricity affect people, which is obvous I would think.
Can gravity be used as a source of energy?
Absolutely. At hydroelectric stations, for example, the power of gravity is harnessed to produce electricity.
What does hydroelectric power produce?
