Hydro Power

There is usually a large one off initial capital outlay, for example to build a dam. After that the electricity produced is almost zero cost

You will usually be sued also, but it is too clean to turn down.

Indias hydro-electric power is not poor it just is of poor quality.

I can't give you actual percentages but I can tell you that some hydro schemes rely on glacier melt water evenly flowing throughout the year. Glaciers are retreating at an alarming rate so the lakes supplying the dams are shrinking. Hydro schemes in Africa are having trouble because the rainy season is becoming so erratic due to global warming. Rains tend to be catastrophic in intensity over a very short period. Most rivers start as mountain stream and mountains like Kilimanjaro are now snow free. This is very worrying since hydro schemes also supply drinking water.

Hydroelectric power is formed using water falling from a high pint to a low one through turbines. While the power is generated by using gravitational energy, this ultimately does come from the sun.

A prime mover is a machine which transforms energy to/from thermal or electrical, or pressure from/to mechanical form. Examples of a prime mover are engines or turbines.

Water passing through a turbine, usually in a dam.

The average cost of building a hydro power plant on the Columbia river is 559,220,000.

This is used for beginners to put tow rope handle so you can get up on the water easier.

it should be easily accessible in about 4 years. when more dams show up, more use of hydro power there will be.

It can and is. In my country (Faroe Islands) , whole villages are being powered by hydroelectricity.

I've never heard of a house having a private generator, though, if that's what you're asking.

my oppinan is that hydropower is a disadvantage because it can be very exspencive

Power is distributed through what is called the grid. The grid is a system of transmissions lines that all major power sources are connected to. This allows us to send power throughout the USA. The downside is that this grid is terribly power hungry. It consumes tons of power that we could save if power was generated locally.

The 2.03 cents per kilowatt hour cost for nuclear power is inaccurate.

December 19, 2011. New study published by National Bureau of Economic Research states: Pg 23 of the report, Table 3 lists the levelized cost of nuclear power as 8.7 cents per kilowatt hour (MIT 2009), and 6.7 cents for natural gas.

The original source of energy for hydroelectricity is water.

Hydor is refined by using the water that is run through dams and is put through a system that takes the power electricity from the water and sends it out to all the people who are watching t .v or something like that.

Hydroelectric power does not pollute the water, and is more beneficial for the environment compared to a handful of other energy sources. It runs non-stop and is relatively cheap. However, the dams are too expensive to build. They may also interfere with fish and other life under the sea, and alter the environment around the dam.

The electricity is not reusable, but as the water used in the process comes from rainfall which continues every year according to the weather, it is renewable, ie the source of the energy is constantly renewed, being driven by the solar energy which is constant.
