I still call a spade a shovel,,

Might be a little off topic now, But Hydro-power is the least eco damaging power of all, but if you want power to run all those modern electric gadgets it has to come from somewhere and steam generation is nice if it is neuc. Coal and oil causes the most pollution and eco damage.with coal being the worst.
You can go to solar but the cost is great and the benefits small, I have made my own but the panels cost, the batterys cost and when recycled, do some eco damage, and you do not get a great lot of power for the dollar and can only run the barest of things.
If you happen to have a water source with at least 100 gfeet of head and a few gallons a minute then a pelton wheel is the thing to have, a 5 amp hydro will supply more than a $25,000 solar setup.
