I’m doing a persuasive research paper on why Hydroelectric Power is a better energy resource than any other alternative resources. I have a few web sites I’ve found with good information but still need more because the paper is 8+ pages. I’ll probably check out a few books at the library as well but as far as at-home research goes…
What are some good, reliable web sites I can find information on Hydroelectric Power?

The Tennessee Valley Authority is a federal agency that has dams built all along the Tennessee River for generating hydroelectric power. Do some research on them.
You might have some of these websites already…
