Run-of-river "for profit" gets a kick in the bag
Oh goodness me, hard to believe.
The idea that we could produce self-sufficiency in hydro-electric power gets whacked?
Stunning.
Except, as our own Alison explains, it had diddly squat to do with self-sufficiency.
Oh yes, you thought "run-of-river" hydro power was a little flume-stock on a creek. Not likely. This is a major dam, on a major river, and if they don't get the water they need, they hold it back.
The graphic above is a run-of-river project. Omigod! That looks like a dam!
There ya go princess.
