The largest dam removal project in United States history is underway along the California-Oregon border — a process that won’t conclude until the end of next year with the help of heavy machinery and explosives.

You can do hydropower without dams. Dams are incredibly destructive to ecosystems.
Do educate me.
It just seems like a huge waste of energy / resources to remove an existing dam than to remediate it somehow. I didn’t see any mention of if this generated power or how it’d be offset.
Not really an environmental win if this hydro power capacity was replaced by coal.
