Interesting that Colombia is currently powering more than 70% of their electrical consumption on hydropower. They currently have about 65 TWh of hydropower capacity; the total feasible generation potential is around 200 TWh. Makes then an interesting country to host such talks.

Good for them, but for most of the world there are no good hydropower locations left. And even when they exist building them is a local ecological disaster.
