Hydroelectric energy is used most in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, particularly in states like Washington, Oregon, and California where they have abundant water resources and high demand for clean energy. The Columbia River Basin, in particular, is home to many large hydroelectric dams that contribute significantly to the region's electricity supply.
Hydroelectric energy is typically converted into electricity through a turbine connected to a generator. This mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy in the generator, which can be transmitted through power lines for various uses.
Probably Illinois, it has the most stations
A hydroelectric power plant uses running water to generate electricity. While hydroelectricity is considered a cleaner energy source compared to fossil fuels, the decomposition of organic matter in the submerged areas behind hydroelectric dams can produce greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide.
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) primarily uses coal, natural gas, and nuclear power to generate electricity. They also utilize renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric power and solar energy in their energy mix.

there are no bad uses of hydro electricity and cant be
Hydroelectric power plants. They have dams and generators. Water flows through a dam, which spins generators that produce hydroelectric electricity. (Fun Fact: The Hoover Dam is the biggest hydroelectric power plant.)
No hydroelectric uses water, usually stored behind a dam to drive a turbine. The hot rocks you speak of is geothermal energy. The most prolific use of geothermal energy is in Iceland.
A hydroelectric dam uses the force of flowing water to drive turbines which generate electric power.
Hydroelectric power
Yes, Alomost every uses it. For some it provides most of its electricity, like the country Uraguay.
Both use the flow of water generate electricity. Hydroelectric uses the flow of water from a high point to a low point. (A damn). Tidal power uses the flow of ocean tides in and out.
