Hydro electric power _is_ sustainable. You can keep catching the rain
and making power from it indefinitely.

Hydro is not classed as 'renewable' for subsidies, but strangely it is
when totting up the totals for how much is on the grid...along with
woodburners...


What it _isn't_ is a solution for all our power needs - there just isn't
enough rain falling in enough mountain valleys.

AIUI wind/hydro works quite well in New Zealand, where they have lots of
wind and rain in a hilly country with low population density.

yes, its the one country in te wprld where windmills make a little sense.
