Hiking in Lapland

Tales from trails about sights and campsites

Wild

Oct 22nd, 2007 by Juha Ylitalo

Wild river

Now that renewable resources are big topic, wild rivers are once again in risk of getting tamed for hydroelectricity. This is one of those issues, where people should consider carefully whether its worth it to harness river for hydroelectricity or use someother form of power plant to generate energy and if the final outcome is to tame river, we should think carefully, how to do it with minimal damages to the nature. In the long run, only alternative is to be able to cut down energy consumption.
