** Where does the energy come from? What is this energy? **
=== Hydroelectric energy is electricity produced by moving water. If you have ever turned on a faucet, you have felt the force of moving water. People can use flowing water to generate electricity. Hydroelectric energy comes from fast moving water. ===

What are the benefits to this energy?
=== Hydroelectric energy is renewable. Dams are built across a large river, blocking the river's flow and creating an artificial lake or reservoir. The fast flowing water turns turbines that drive generators, which produce electricity.The benefits of this energy is that it does not burn any fuel so this is no pollution. Dams in the United States generate enough electricity ===

** What are the cons to using this energy? **
=== Building dams poses problems for the environment. By flooding land to create reservoirs, dams destroy wild life habitats. Dams sometimes interfere with fish migration. Dams can also make it harder to raise crops and livestock. ===
