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?

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...

All of Wallonia is hilly. Hell, Brussels is also hilly.
