Some believe that the destruction of an environmental area is not worth the benefit to society; others simply question the production capability and reliability of hydroelectric power.

Do they make hydroeletric cars?

I do not think that would be possible, as hydroelectric power is produced by large amounts of water spinning a generator to produce electricity. The structure that produces hydroelectric power is called a dam, which are quite large and usually require a lake or at least a large river to produce power.


Where is the largest hydroelectric power plant?

I think it's the Three Rivers Gorge hydroelectric project in China. j3h. Currently the largest producer of hydro-electricity is the Itaipú hydroelectric power plant on the Brazilian Paraguay border. When the Three Gorges Dam hydro-electric plants become operational in probably 2011 then it will become the largest with almost 21,000+ MW production

Some people think that hydroelectric and solar power should be used to supply all of the electricity for the US Which of the following would be a flaw in this plan?

A key flaw in relying solely on hydroelectric and solar power for the U.S. electricity supply is the issue of energy reliability and availability. Hydroelectric power depends on water availability, which can be affected by droughts or seasonal changes, while solar power relies on sunlight, making it less effective during cloudy days or at night. Additionally, both energy sources have geographic limitations; not all regions have suitable conditions for hydroelectric dams or optimal solar exposure, leading to potential inequities in energy distribution. This approach would necessitate robust energy storage solutions and infrastructure to ensure a consistent and reliable power supply.


Why do you think that hydro stations are always in mountainous areas?

Hydroelectric power is created by water falling against a turbine by the force of gravity. If the water doesn't have a high place to fall from, there won't be any power.


How are hydroelectric plants and nuclear power plants the same?

Both hydroelectric plants and nuclear power plants generate electricity by converting a source of energy into electrical power. They are both considered to be reliable sources of base-load power, meaning they can provide a continuous and consistent power output. Additionally, both types of plants have the potential to produce significant amounts of electricity and have a relatively low carbon footprint compared to fossil fuel power plants.
