If you can set up a hydro/pump dam without wrecking the ecosystem and don't need handouts to function, I'm all for it.


People complaining about renewal electricity production with hydro/pump dams while ignoring mountaintop removal of Appalachian mountains for coal...


Why not complain about both? Industrial civilization is inherently unsustainable, no matter how you try to power it.

Right. Gentle reminder that tuna has dangerous amounts of mercury in it specifically because of humans burning coal, not because the ocean was always so polluted.


Every time they do that you just redefine wrecking.

First it was the fish ladders. Then it was a bunch of whining about how reducing the water level variation on the river is bad (particularly illustrative because this is the exact opposite logic your ilk uses when talking stormwater). Lord knows what the complaint is these days.

Why don't you just be honest and say "no"


If you can drill oil and gas without wrecking the ecosystem I'm all for it.
