Reply to comment by slater_san in U.S. regulators approved a plan to demolish four dams on the lower Klamath River and open hundreds of miles of salmon habitat in the largest dam-removal and river-restoration project in the world. by doginasweater39

A dam saves up water to be used as needed. That's why the hydroelectric plants are on dams instead of on the river itself like historical water wheels.

I don't need sources to point out super obvious things. Water is wet. The sky is up. Dams accumulate water.

Okay watch this: solar farm for the sunny days, wind farm for the windy/cloudy days and nuclear plant to do those pesky overcast but not windy days.

Wind is windy, sun is sunny and I can play this game too!

Bonus: lots of job creation!

There are some other super obvious things, like how those dams interfere with salmon habitats and natural river flows. And how we have the technology to generate clean energy elsewhere. And that we have more than enough resources store water somewhere else.
