Comment Re:did people really use them? (Score 1) 175

I never used them beyond the first couple of days that they were brought online. The novelty was fun but it quickly became a hassle to fire up the system and TV (and then wait for the app to launch) to check the weather forecast that I can have in a matter of seconds using my computer. I think the weather application only updated itself every 8 hours, which is kind of useless with Weather Channel always being right up-to-date.

Hydroelectricity can certainly exist without dams, there's no doubt about that. The post above mentioning Niagara Falls is another good example of that. But could a waterfall turbine or buoy farm even hope to match the output of a hydroelectric dam or compete with nuclear energy?
