Advantages and Disadvantages of Hydroelectric Energy Practice Test

Most if not all rivers capable of generating substantial hydroelectric energy have already been dammed and are working at high capacity.

The amount of energy invested in hydroelectric is about equal to the amount of energy harnessed from the process.

There is currently a federal ban on the construction or development of future hydroelectric dams to protect fish populations.

With the pressing issue of climate change and changes in precipitation, it is unclear how much energy current hydroelectric dams can provide in the future, let alone how much energy dams built in the future could provide.

The reported amount of electricity generated by hydroelectric dams is actually an inflated figure derived from theoretically running at full capacity and is not realistic.
