Canada's hydropower production has decreased due to drought, prompting a shift towards fossil fuels and discouraging investment in new projects. Climate change affecting energy security and return on investment in hydropower. Ontario's IESO oilprice.com/Alternative-En…

Life on planet Earth is under siege. We are now in an uncharted territory. For several decades, scientists have consistently warned of a future marked by extreme climatic conditions because of escalating global temperatures... intellinews.com/the-models-are…

All life depends on the flow of water. Human pressure on natural water flows turned a fairly stable system into a fragile one. It has done so with dams (only one-third of the world’s rivers remain free-flowing)...

All-Res tool estimates that lower Snake River reservoirs in eastern Washington release about 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide per year. That’s equivalent to burning 2 billion pounds of coal annually, according to U.S. EPA’s emissions calculator. oregoncapitalchronicle.com/briefs/report-…

The carbon credit scandal was partly responsible for the subsequent market slump in voluntary carbon credits, as buyers lost trust in the instruments. In a similar way, hydropower RECs facing greenwashing allegations could harm the entire REC sector. eco-business.com/opinion/hydrop…

'A key element of the Nature Restoration Law is its commitment to restoring 25,000km of free-flowing rivers across Europe by 2030. Free-flowing means that a river can flow without major obstacles like dams, hydropower plants and weirs.' freshwaterblog.net/2024/03/19/can…

“The lakes are all higher than they would normally be on this date, but there’s nothing sitting upstream to come down to finish filling them,” Spence points out. “The water level on your lakes is going up earlier than you would expect.” kawarthanow.com/2024/03/16/we-…
