Short term (dams),
- it provides electricity,
- it makes jobs, and fishy
- at some elevated risk from catastrophic failure of the dam.
Long term (dams),
- it affects migration patterns of fish (which can be mitigated in many cases),
- it allows for settling of sediments behind the dam (some of which are radioactive),
- it adds additional weight on the fault lines that form most river valleys (increasing the risk of a catastrophic upheaval),
- it allows for the water to be heated, stagnant, and depleted of much oxygen, such that releases are essentially dead and somewhat toxic,
- it increases the evaporation to the atmosphere and suppression of water into the water table, reducing available surface water, and reducing its quality.
The nice thing about beavers, is their dams go away fairly quickly, leaving nice flat farmland.
Tidal / wave generation seems to have none of these bad issues...
What else can I help you with?
How is electricity reliable?
As long as the rain keeps falling in the catchment area, hydro electricity is very reliable. It will run day and night if required, as the water is stored up behind the dam. If the rainfall is unreliable, then hydro electricity is unreliable too.
How long does static electricity last after it is generated?
Static electricity can last for a short period of time, typically only a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the conditions and materials involved.

How does electricity the most versatile from energy?
Electricity is the most versatile form of energy because it can be easily generated from various sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and fossil fuels. It can then be converted and used in many different ways to power a wide range of devices and applications, from lighting and heating to transportation and industrial processes. Additionally, electricity can be easily transported over long distances through power grids, making it highly accessible and adaptable for diverse needs.
Do blue light have a long wavelengths?
No, blue light actually has short wavelengths compared to other colors in the visible light spectrum. This short wavelength is why blue light is often associated with effects like glare and eye strain.
How long does hydro electricity last?
50 to 70 years
What are short term and long term effects of thermal electricity?
Short-term effects of thermal electricity include air pollution from emissions and water pollution from cooling processes. Long-term effects include resource depletion and climate change due to the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.
How reliable is hydro electricity?
As long as the rain keeps falling in the catchment area, hydro electricity is very reliable. It will run day and night if required, as the water is stored up behind the dam. If the rainfall is unreliable, then hydro electricity is unreliable too.
What are the long and short term effects of cyclone nargis?
The long-term effects of Cyclone Nargis included extensive damage to infrastructure, loss of livelihoods, and displacement of communities. Short-term effects included loss of life, destruction of homes, and disruption of basic services like water and electricity. Recovery efforts were required to address these impacts in the aftermath of the cyclone.
