Take a close look at your power bill, the price you are paying should be on it. If not there call the power authority and ask them how much you are being charged per kWh.
That depends on the efficiency of the hydro plant, the height of water in the dam, the volume of water that can be used per second.
to generate power
If more hydroelectricity is generated as an energy source, wind turbines and wave power will be used less. If these sources are used less, this could cause job loses and other detrimental effects.
it still has plenty of running water
hydropower or hydroelectricity is the power of water generated by water. we use this electricity everywhere it powers 24% of the worlds electricity.
Fossil fuels are worst than hydroelectric power because when they are burnt to harness their energy, they release CO2, a greenhouse gas, this enhances the effects of global warming and as once fossil fuels have been mined and burnt, they are gone and will not reacumilate again for millions of years whereas hydroelectricity doesn't burn any carbon, releasing no CO2 and hydroelectricity's original source of power will never run out, making it much more efficient.
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
Sort of. Electricity in not considered a resource since it can be generated in a multitude of ways. That being said, hydroelectricity is a sustainable way to generate power. This would also include solar and wind power.
Hydroelectricity is generated by building dams or waterwheels wcitch flow through turbines to generate electricity.
What is Latin america
I guess 20%
Fast, running water.
Wind power refers to actually using the wind to create energy (think windmills). Hydro power refers to using currents and dams + turbines to generate energy.
do you gyus no if you need electricty to make hydroelectricity
Lack of funds.
hydroelectric
5 3/4 MILLION Horsepower- about 55 percent on the American side and 45 percent on the Canadian side
They do not reduce global warming in any way they are just a source of electricity, like solar power and hydroelectricity. Solar power and wind power are renewable power sources but hydroelectricity is not due to the cost of construction and the dams breaking.
