    For a dam which already exists, surely keeping it in use makes more sense than decommissioning it in favour of fossil fuels though?

    We probably shouldn’t be building any more, but unless our grid is already completely renewable, hydro stations are the last ones we should be taking offline.

      For the time being, dams will have to exist. But eventually, there will come a time when we won’t need nearly as many dams.
