Cost Normal Hydropower is produced for an average of 0.85 cents per kilowatt hour. Geothermal cost 20,000 to 25,000 to install Bio Fuels cost $60 to $70 a ton and 75 cents per gallon of Ethanol A 10 KW wind turbine costs approximately $48,000- $65,000 to install Hydropower is mostly cost friendly and good quality.
Safety When getting a hydropower station implanted or upgraded, there are several procedures people go through to make sure every body stays safe. There is a contract that everybody involved has to sign so they can make hydropower safer One thing that makes hydropower safer is that it is powered and fueled by water so there is not as much harm.
Reliability Why hydropower plants are reliable is because hydropower plants are the only major generators that can dispatch power to the grid immediately when all other energy sources are inaccessible, they provide essential back-up power during major electricity disruptions such as the 2003 blackout.
Aesthetics Introducing new structures Cables Power-substations Lights Moorings barges
Cultural and environmental impacts Hydropower is fueled by water therefor it is a clean energy source Hydropower is not as damaging to the environment as sources like Bio Fuels and Geothermal energy. Hydropower is one of the most oldest power sources on the planet.
