wrong, dipshit
So in other words, nobody is proposing them, nobody can afford to build them, and nobody actually wants them. But yet, LiBErAlS!Who said anything about Repub led hydro-electric projects? Nice diversion from Dems wanting to remove them.
I just said Dems would rather tear down the ones already in place supplying electricity/water to people 100's of miles away.
They've been unpopular to propose for decades, costing a few $billion to build today.
Not to mention the huge backlash from the enviro-socialist left 24/7/365 if even brought up.
We're lucky they built what they did 50-100 years ago, along with our vast interstate highway/freeway systems we all take for granted today.
The solar powered pumped hydro-electric plants are a cool idea. Kauai has one in the planning stages for the west side. They have a big cliff drop off, with a large fairly flat mesa area above for storage. Not huge, but big enough for Kauai needs (60k residents).

Many areas of mainland USA could be building these. Flatland middle America might have a tough time implementing. But anywhere with a large drop-off of a few 100 to 1000 feet could pull it off. It'd need a flat area above and below for storage, and that's about it.
There's at least one new reservoir finally getting the go ahead in Northern Cal.
But it's not hydro-electric. Mostly for water storage. It's only taken more than 20 years to finally get started. Maybe.
You brought up Norway numbNuts. That's how Norway gets almost all of its power. Its also a form of energy the greenie weenies oppose.
have conservatives proposed any new hydro plants anywhere? Have they been opposed by democrats?
I brought up Norway as an example of what can be done, if there's will.
Norway does Hydro. Nitwits like you would oppose it. Keep flailing away.
Yes they have. Some have even been removed or decommissioned.
More minimalist than an electric motor? How?
Why go hydro when we have sh!t for water in the SW and have an abundance of sunshine.
That’s different. They’re being removed and decommissioned because they’re old and obsolete. I asked about new projects. I also suggested that there’s support for updating Non- producing dams and you seem to have ignored that. Why?Yes they have. Some have even been removed or decommissioned.
Also note, most dams are not energy-producing. Your link is irrelevant to a discussion on hydro-electricity.Yes they have. Some have even been removed or decommissioned.
An honest question. Who pays for it is an element of any project. In this case you advocate that each individual warehouse owner cover their roofs with solar panels. So the individual owners pay for it? The utility? Federal/state/municipal government?
It's cost-benefit analysis
Well, this is why the government is subsidizing solar in the US.
