Hydropower Is Accelerating Global Warming

Here is a counter-intuitive finding reported by Maria Fernanda Guanipa in "Pulse Headlines":

Reservoirs are not as carbon neutral as we thought, according to new studies from the Washington State University. Hydropower is an underestimated cause of greenhouse gasses, producing around one gigaton of carbon dioxide per year.

Hydropower is not as clean as it appears now. Though much attention has been paid to their effects on fisheries and the natural flow of rivers, little attention has been focused on their carbon footprint. According to new studies, the reservoirs are responsible for 1.3% of all GHG emissions worldwide.

If you recall, I recently pointed out that solar power also will exacerbate climate change:

So here's where we now stand:

• Clueless morons are messing with our power supplies;
• They are shutting down coal-fired power plants;
• They do not want to build more nuclear power plants;
• Their panacea (solar power) will not solve the problem (global warming); and
• Their fallback source (hydro power) contributes to the problem.

What's left? Wind power and wave energy, neither of which will supply the amount of energy we need.

If you haven't figured it out yet, they are leading us down a path to ruin.

Or are they?

Once they cull the herd (i.e., kill all of us useless eaters), the remaining feeble power sources will be more than enough to satisfy the needs of the one percent.

And that's the only interpretation which makes any sense.
