Small Dams Could Pump Out Big Power, Says Boulder Startup
July 1, 2013 /
Think of a hydroelectric project, and what comes to mind?
Probably the giant Hoover Dam, or the Three Gorges megaproject in China. They’re projects that generate a lot of cheap, clean electricity at a continuous rate, but come at the cost of major disruptions to ecosystems and communities.
That’s part of the reason why environmentalists have very mixed feelings about hydroelectricity. In the U.S., the pendulum has swung against building new hydroelectric projects, and many dams are being deconstructed.
