Damn Dams are Damned, Dammit!

YouTube Channel Wendover Productions offers some really interesting videos about science, technology, geography and more.

On Sept. 19, they released “The Troubling Danger of Dams.” It was quite interesting, because Wendover is generally hugely in favour of “green energy,” and of course, hydroelectricity is the granddaddy of all green energy. Just ask anyone from Quebec or Manitoba.

So it was quite interesting to hear Wendover talk about some of the very serious issues regarding dams, namely, they have a life expectancy, and no one is really prepared for them coming to the end of that. It almost makes you wonder what happens to the same with wind and solar?

And notably, we’re not hearing any serious talk about major hydro development in Saskatchewan. Maybe because a. we don’t have much water, and b. most of Saskatchewan is pretty flat. And to get the most out of hydro, you need c. lots of water and d. lots of elevation.
