More global warming

Hydroelectric powerplants are blamed for putting more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than automobiles. If we were go to nuclear (nucular) we could turn this around.

Hydroelectric? As in dams? How do they produce greenhouse gases?

Hydroelectric? As in dams? How do they produce greenhouse gases?

They agitate the water so much going through all their ducts and turbines that more air gets mixed in. When the water finally comes out of the machinery it "fizzes" like carbonated sodas. All that fizz is more water vapor which rises into the atmosphere adding to the true greenhouse gas.
