Time to plan the end of hydro in Western states. Power can come from the sun (there's a lot of sunny land in the West) rather than hydro. We need that water for drinking and sanitation, with ag coming a distant third [in terms of human survival].


Are you claiming that hydroelectric generation leads to loss of water somehow? Or just that the reservoirs should be drained?
