I said in my previous post that "I have never heard of anyone opposing hydropower." Lest it causes confusion, I should add that I have heard of opposition to specific hydropower projects (for example, Arun III Project in Nepal), but I have not heard of opposition to hydropower as a source of energy.

On the other hand, Fisher said that those who oppose fossil fuels also oppose hydropower. Honestly, I don't know what to make of such a sweeping statement. One could oppose a project for any number of reason (and projects could be modified, redesigned, reconceptualized, cancelled, etc.), but why would anyone oppose hydropower as a source of clean and relatively cheap energy?

Thanks.
