The New Face of Hydroelectricity

摘要

In early February 2015, the public television station, PBS, on its news program NewsHour, aired a segment on hydropower. The piece, by Inside Energy's Dan Boyce, focused specifically on small hydro. In the segment, Boyce refers to small hydro as "the new face" of hydroelectricity. After watching the segment (which I highly recommend!~★) and reading my colleague Michael Harris's "Hydro Talk" blog about it (which I also highly recommend!~★), I got to thinking about this concept of "new faces." Especially in the context of what some perceive as an "old industry."
