Four Dirty Secrets about Clean Energy

I've also read of economic damage from hydroelectric, especially in the west. If that's the case, how is it always clean and profitable?

I don't know what that damage is. As an old whitewater canoe head, I am struck by the fact that the Corps of Engineers wants to stop all moving water.

That, I believe, is all that hydro is: water that falls onto turbine blades with a coil that is opposite in electric polarity from the balanced blades. My knowledge of the particulars is very spotty. My opinion of the costs (both environmental and fiduciary) is very low. I'd look into it further if I wasn't off marching to Blair Mountain...
