The debate about American energy sometimes turns out to be accurate.
Tribal disputes over the merits of one power supply over another.
This often conflicts renewable energy with deep-rooted fossil fuels.
But sometimes carbon
Free energy industries such as solar and hydropower are moving in a cleaner direction.
In Portugal, this is not the case, where officials in montalegli unveiled the world\'s first hydropower plant --
Solar power stations this week.
Earlier this year, the Alto Rabago dam near the northern Spanish border added 840 floating solar panels, increasing the plant\'s total peak capacity by 220 KW.
The platform for solar panels is about the size of a large warehouse.
The project is expected to generate 332 MW in the first year, sufficient to provide one year of electricity to 100 households.
This is a relatively modest development, but it offers great potential.
The utility giant behind the project, Energias de Portugal, Portugal, runs a large business in Brazil, where more than 70% of the electricity generated comes from hydropower plants.
If the hydro and solar cocktail in Alto rabgo is successful, the project could be a model for meeting Brazil\'s electricity demand, which is expected to more than double by 2050.
Water and electricity accounted for 6. 5 percent of U. S.
It is the largest renewable energy source in China.
It is much higher than 0.

Hydropower plants are one of the oldest power plants in the United States. In northwestern states such as Washington, Oregon and California, hydropower accounts for a large part.
Floating solar panels provide a way to expand the capacity of these plants without carrying out costly dam reconstruction.
