  • Hydro Electric Power
    Autumn Moorcroft Environmental Health Russ Lidman Summary All around the world there are many different ways to produce power and electricity, but which is the best way to do so? When trying to determine the best option one has to think about many different factors. One has to think about people; how many people will this new resource benefit? Will this resource affect the surrounding towns we are producing near? Also one has to look at it in more of an environmental stand point and ask, “Is this the best resource for the town, county, state, or even the Nation or World?” one will also ask is this harming many species or is this beneficial. What one is doing when researching different resources for electricity is weighing the Pros and Cons. This is exactly what I am doing in this paper for Hydroelectric Power. More specifically I am weighing the pros and cons of two Dams in Lewis County to see how these dams have been harmful or beneficial. Hydro Electric Power 1 Introduction Hydro Electric Power is one of the leading suppliers of energy in Washington State, producing 75% of its power (Energy development technical assistance,2016). Due to hydroelectric power being a major source of energy for Washington State, the local communities in Lewis County have been directly affected by the Mossyrock Dam. Is hydroelectric power the best option of energy production? Do the positives outweigh the negatives? This paper will look at how hydroelectric power has affected Washington State; in particular how the Mossyrock and Mayfield Dams in Lewis County have affected the community, along with its fish and wildlife.
