This is already getting hard to follow as I saw your comment by saying...First off ... I said RENEWABLE ... not CARBON-NEUTRAL ... hydro is anything BUT carbon-neutral ... #6 source of atmospheric carbon dioxide is cement ... environmentally horrific ... don't get me started ...
--all that in order for us to be together on the fact that dams are not forever. Of course nothing in this universe --the universe itself included-- is "forever". Isn't that what you mean by "renewable"? If when you say "renewable" you mean that it's useful over some finite time then it might be more clear if you explained yourself....Hydro dams are typically designed for only 500 years after which the reservoir is silted up and it's unusable....
The controversy over relations between descendants of earlier immigrants to what we now call the Americas and descendants of newer immigrants seems off topic and it's hard to see how that becomes a "Second off". Can we just do one topic at a time --like hydro power?...Second off ... we gave them Indians GOOD LAND up on the high desert ...
