Hydro
Is renewable the same as sustainable? In the age of fossil fuels, it made sense to conflate the two. But that’s no longer the case, especially for hydroelectric power. Sustainability advocates have become increasingly critical of the social and environmental impacts of hydro schemes. A recent example is Austria-backed KelKos Energy, which has had 3 hydropower licences revoked in Decan Valley, a national park and protected zone in the Accursed Mountains of Kosovo. A consortium of 60 civil society organisations are hailing this as a victory for sustainability. The solar and wind industries would do well to take note.
