People dont deem to realize that dams are super expensive, dont last forever and can cause cataclismic failures when they break. Stuff that is much worse that nuclear failures. And lets not talk about the destruction of human and animal habitat to make dams in the first place...

True, but we already have quite a lot of them, and we’re not going to remove them all immediately.

Most places already have built dams where there is any significant economic value. The only big new ones tend to be in newly developing areas.

So not much opportunity to expand there.
