Hydro industry leaders dispel false claims about licensing

摘要

Leaders of the US hydropower industry have sent a letter to US House leadership calling for provisions to the recently approved energy bill that would bring hydropower licensing into the 21st century. In the letter, the National Hydropower Association (NHA), American Public Power Association, Edison Electric Institute, Large Public Power Council, and National Rural Electric Cooperative Association herald the bipartisan hydropower provisions in the bill as much needed but modest. However they call for the end of the 'inaccurate rhetoric surrounding the hydropower provisions' recently instigated by opponents of hydropower.
