Energy is not needed?? LOL. The grid can't keep up as it is.....
There were rolling blackouts during this freeze because TVA couldn't produce enough electricity and they couldn't "bring it in" from anywhere else.
Please.
"earthlawcenter" sounds completely unbiased. :/
The dams are working until we get fusion or people stop being afraid of nuclear....there are no other choices unless we want to return to the stone age, but *gasp* that's burning wood.

Rather have electrical power from coal? No..that was converted to gas...wait. now gas is bad so..convert to ?? Solar is worse than hydro. Wave power is destructive to sea life. Wind turbines are killing birds and break down all the time. Pick your poison. I'm ok with my hydro..and a few solar panels and my well water. People shouldn't live in the desert and expect water to be delivered to them, and when it's short, expect everyone else to change their lifestyle and equipment because of their self-perpetuated situation. To each his own.

we have plenty of water. Sorry about you West Coast drought places. Shouldn't run my life though.
TVA power from rivers. Well water.

Hard on WalMart thin Junk clothes maybe. We have no issues.
