Hydro's Future Challenges
Gia discusses the dual impact of climate change on hydropower, highlighting areas facing drought versus those experiencing increased precipitation. She emphasizes the importance of resource diversity and interconnection for a renewable grid, noting that despite drought conditions in the West, hydropower played a critical role in balancing energy demands. The chilling prospect of California potentially receiving all its precipitation as rain raises questions about future water management strategies, including the need for more dams and reservoirs to mimic natural snowpack.In this clip
