    Hydro energy is produced from water trapped by dams in valleys and lakes, where hydro power stations can generate a great deal of power very cheaply. While hydro power is renewable and produces no waste or pollution, building large dams is very expensive and floods upstream areas, displacing wildlife and impacting residents and the environment.
