The main problem with hydro is that there isn't a whole lot of capacity left to develop, and what there is has been blocked by indians and whack jobs that want to preserve the land as is was. There is certainly a major impact to creating large resevoirs and realigning rivers, etc... but it is fairly cheap power to produce. The other problem is that it's most often in a very remote location and transmission is expensive, and losses high. The only viable project that I know of, and one that will probably 'go' is the Lower Churchill project in Labrador. Their current plan is to pull a line form central Labrador, across the straight to Newfoundland, down the coast, across the gulf to Cape Breton, and then hook into NSP's grid to carry the remainder west, ultimately to New England if there's anything left. NSP is also negociating for a chunk of that power, mainly to shut down some coal I think. If I remember correctly, the lower curchill project is something like 2200 MW... Not really a huge chunk of power.
