Alan Ervine, professor of water engineering at Glasgow University, said in April 2008, “Just now, it’s far more sexy to be talking about wave power, tidal current power and on- and off-shore wind, whereas the hydro potential in Scotland is not fully developed.”[1]
Dr. David Victor, professor of law and director of the Energy and Sustainable Development Program at Stanford University, said at the 2008 HydroVision conference: “This conference comes at a time when governments around the world are struggling to tackle the emissions that cause global warming. Hydropower, if applied well, is a ready technology for the cause.”[2]
