Perhaps you'd talk about the connection between dams and a climate change movement a little. I'm a little familiar with both and don't see a connection.

Dams provide clean energy. Getting rid of them is bad for climate change.

Many of these dams are actually causing ecological damage and have also outlived their usefulness and are not sustainable to continue operating and may even cause significant environmental problems if left in place.

Do you know of an example of one of these dams being replaced with coal or gas plants?

Ahh ok we aren't talking specifics but more of a "general feeling about dams" from the layperson perspective.
