What is hydroelectric energy, and how is it being used to help solve the climate crisis on an international scale?

by Maddie H. Class of 2022

In this project, I have examined hydropower as a form of accessible and equitable energy to combat the growing global climate crisis. I have learned what exactly hydropower is, what climate change looks like, and how both of these things can change our lives. I compiled all of my research in a digestible presentation, focusing specifically on how hydroelectric energy is currently being used in Germany, Brazil, and the United States, as well as the potential for this source of energy.
