Executive 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 hydro electric 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.
