Hydro is great at producing low carbon energy but:

- completely destroys ecosystems and communities around it

- Can create international water disputes that threaten war (look at Ethiopia, Turkey, Tibet)

- Creates a ticking time bomb much worse then nuclear if not properly maintained

That said, situationally I think Hydro is still one of our better options.

Interesting point about water disputes, wasn't aware -- and freshwater supply is not going up in the future.
