Hydroelectric Power

Advantages

  • Renewable
  • No atmospheric pollution
  • High energy density
  • Power on demand

Disadvantages

  • Floods large areas and disturbs habitats.
  • Requires a specific area

Evaluation

Good, and remember that it costs electricity to pump water back up so they buy electricity at night and pump it at night because it's cheaper for obvious reasons.
