      At a certain point we decided it wasn't OK to drown any more open space behind big dams.

      Drowning open space behind dams is what we do for water, not so much for power (see: Holyoke, Lowell, etc)

      I wonder about former mill villages like Bondsville and Gilbertville--they seem pretty destitute now, maybe they could start using the rapids for power instead of manufacturing

      How much power can one generate from turbines on a medium-sized river like the Swift?

      That's what I want to know! But there are dozens, if not hundreds, of sites in Massachusetts alone which fall into this category--what happens if they're all generating again?

      Probably not much, because hydro potential in Massachusetts has to be divided by a high population density. It's not Sweden or Canada.

      State population is around 6 million

      And state land area is 20,000 km^2, hence high population density.

      Yes. The European countries with Massachusetts' density don't have much hydro power. You need to be wet and empty.

      If you want to rely solely on hydro and have a surplus for export, sure, but the aforementioned countries still use some, yes?

          If you can't tell this is my first time exploring the topic, but it looks like there's plenty of precedent for small-scale hydropower; what's the harm in proliferating these in MA? It's clean, doesn't alter the landscape much, etc...pic.twitter.com/37Vj9Cpz4N

          There is precedent of converting older industrial dams into modern hydro power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glendale_Power_House …

          Belgium and the Netherlands (the Massachusetts-comparable countries) have very little hydro and mostly use fossil fuels.

          They have no hills to speak of so no viable sources of hydropower on their waterways. MA is much less dense and is bursting at the seams w rivers that can (and have) make power

          Belgium does, in Wallonia. NL doesn't, but it has the Rhine. And Massachusetts is not much less dense than either.

          Their highest point is only 2/3 the elevation of ours, and as you already said, only part of Belgium has hills in the first place, vs nearly all of Massachusetts. We're much better suited, geographically, than the low countries are.

          It's a pretty significant part of Belgium...

          Wallonia is, but the hilly part of it isn't
