Facts about Hydropower. Retrieved April 5, 2009, from Wisconsin Valley Improvement Company Web site: http://www.wvic.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=7&Itemid=44
In the US, the hydropower provides about 10% of all electricity. We are the 2nd largest producer of this kind of power in the world. Even though this picture is of 2000, we, USA, still hold the second place. Norway, on the sixth place, produces 99% of its electricity with hydropower. Hydropower, as was calculated, prevents the burning of 22 billion gallons of oil every year. It looks like there's no way we can go on without it. This is one of the great ways to prolong the use of fossil fuels.
