Hydro is not "forever". We had that near catastrophe at Oroville a couple years ago, and just last year (I think?) Michigan had two dams collapse. And then there's that LA dam collapse that killed some 600-650 people in the 30s, I think.
. . .
And while we're talking about lifecycles, I'd like to also add that wind power requires enormous maintenance, repair, and replacement costs, time, and materials, or it won't last either. Those fan blades have a limited lifespan.
They can only kill so many birds before they're completely worn down on their leading edges; even to the point where the blade itself could fail and break up into many flying, flinging pieces. Once a single blade goes, the entire assembly, which is now out of balance, is at risk for catastrophic and dangerous collapse.
So if we're gonna do some renewable energy along the way, we need to be sensible about it and we need to be READY to pay for all of the costs of it. Oh, and the burials of all those dead birds, lol!
