Question

why is hydro power important compare to other means of energy

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hydropower has the best conversion efficiencies among all known energy sources (about 90 % efficiency, water to wire). ... Hydropower offers significant potential for carbon emissions reductions, since greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are generally very low, typically less than 1 % of that from coal power plants

Answer 2

Explanation:

Hydropower is fueled by water, so it's a clean fuel source, meaning it won't pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas. Hydroelectric power is a domestic source of energy, allowing each state to produce their own energy without being reliant on international fuel sources.
