Renewable Power Policy and Hydroelectric Dams

Renewable Energy Policy and Hydropower Dam is very controversial about environmental changes due to the installation of hydropower dams and pollution from other power stations using nonrenewable energy sources. Discussions from several groups opposing both sides seem quite strange. The purpose of this white paper is to explore the environment and other influences of the two energy sources and the arguments raised by the different groups and discussions on the two power sources.

Hydropower is currently the largest producer of renewable energy in the United States. It produced 6.52% of the country's total electricity in 2016, accounting for 43.62% of the country's total renewable energy. The United States is the world's fourth largest hydroelectric power generation country after China, Canada and Brazil. The Grand Coulee Dam is the fifth largest hydropower plant in the world and the other six US hydropower plants are one of the 50 largest hydropower plants in the world. The amount of hydropower generated is greatly affected by changes in precipitation and surface runoff. Hydropower projects such as Hoover Dam, Grand Coulee Dam and Tennessee Valley Authority have become a symbolic large-scale construction project

Biomass (burning wood) and hydroelectric power (power produced by the dam) make up the majority of renewable energy produced in the United States today, but because there are few rivers remaining in the dam and limited areas, both are more It does not have the possibility of growth. We convert it to plantation to generate biomass. Solar Energy and Wind Energy Wind farms are rapidly growing all over the world (about 20% per year), solar cells are cost effective far away from traditional grids. Photovoltaic will grow faster, as advanced technology reduces the cost of new solar cells

Classification of energy into renewable energy and non-renewable energy is not without problems. Geothermal and hydropower are classified as renewable energy, but the geothermal site will eventually cool and the hydroelectric power dam will be gradually filled with silt. Although it is possible that certain places may be depleted, it is possible that a new power plant can sometimes be built in different places, rather than the total amount of potential geothermal and hydroelectric power generation. Nuclear power is not renewable energy, but as long as the remaining life of the sun is so, the amount of uranium in the ocean may continue to be replenished by eroding underground resources. Although fossil fuels are limited, hydrocarbon fuels can be produced in several ways as described below.
