  3. Hydro power. Its efficient, and all it really needs is water. Plus, it costs the least amount of money.

  4. Dams do kill fish. I would diffidently bring that up if I was against them.

  5. Dams don't kill fish. Fish ladders on the sides of dams prevent fish from being killed by the dam. Fish ladders at a safe passage way. Fish ladders are man-made tres that take the fish to safer waters.

  8. What is the likelihood that a dam will explode when the water is much lower than that of the pressure needed to explode. Plus, something bad could happen to any of these power sources.

    Dams collapsing is actually pretty common. And this is only in the US. I can find many more examples of dams bursting in other countries.

    List of all major dam failures in history. Dams failing seems pretty common.

  12. dams do not hurt the fish...the turbines will create a pressure barrier to keep fish away..that is not an issue.

  14. The dam collapsing will not be a problem for WeeBuiltDis City because the water pressure is MUCH lower than that of the pressure needed to explode. This dam will not explode unless the water pressure suddenly rose a LOT. I doubt that will happen, considering the water is a decent distance down from the top of the dam, so the water pressure is quite low.

  15. i agree the chances of a dam exploding is slim to none...hydro is the way to go!

  16. You are using Wikipedia as a source....everyone and anyone can make changes on those pages. Also, a lot of it is false information!
