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.

Practically everything we do is a local ecological disaster.

Pumped storage hydro electricity is one of our least ecologically devastating options and we are not even remotely close to exhausting locations we can put them.
