There are many arguments as to whether or not if hydroelectric power is a good solution. I believe it is a good solution from using fossil fuels as an energy source but there could possibly be better sources. It is more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. Hydroelectric power does not pollute the environment however, it can have environmental impacts. Studies have shown that hydroelectric power plants can increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This is believed to happen from the pressure of the water in the hydroelectric power plants. Gas released when the high pressure water flows through the turbine. When the water from the bottom of the reservoir was tested, it foamed up from the pressure and contained fizzing bubbles.
