Why does the report make the statement "Excluding large hydropower", and does the report include any hydropower since it is the most efficient and cheapest renewable energy resource?

The main reasons are that large hydro has huge NIMBY effects, primarily due to its potential environmental damage. California for example is actually talking about destroying some dams to reintroduce salmon runs or to reclaim land. It also has huge up front capital costs. Also a lot of the country is tapped out for large hydro.

I am really impressed with the wat this country and europe are taking the clean renewable energy seriously. I wish Korea would get on board, in fact, I wish all the non nuclear club nations would just skip that boat and get on this one immediately!!
Think-you?

i think destroying dams is a very bad idea. what a huge step backwards in the fight to bring in renewable energy to the forfront. at the same time i like the idea of giving water back to mother nature there must be some way to do both.
