Ecuador’s (& Neighbors') Rivers Run Dry and the Lights Go Out 1224.rtfClimate-Driven Water Impacts in US West to Raise Cost of Decarbonizing Grid 1124.rtfWhy Hydropower Is Failing This Nation — and Could Fail Others 1124.rtfDrought Parches World’s Largest Man-Made Lake, Stripping Zambia’s Electricity 1024.rtfClimate Change-Related Droughts Dent Progress on Energy Emissions 1023.rtf - Hyropower output falls during droughts. The demand gap is filled too often by fossil fuels. These have their own problems, since cooling water is usually hotter druing a drought. The output of thermal power plants is based on the difference between combustion termperature and cooling (water) temperature. Warmer cooling water makes the thermal power plant less efficient at producing electricity.Click for moreArticles

Rivers in southern Europe reached record lows. The lack of hydro and nuclear power was a real problem amid the gas crisis, due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. If these 2 sources were at the normal level, then Europe probably would not have needed so much gas.
Europe is warming around twice as fast as the rest of the world. The glaciers that help store and release meltwater are diminishing quickly, and hot, dry summers like this year’s could become more common.... Global warming would lead to decreased annual stream flows in Southern Europe by the end of the century, affecting hydroelectric power, but suggested Northern Europe would see increased flows.
