The New Power Generation

THE NEW POWER GENERATION WORLD'S LARGEST HYDROELECTRIC POWER STATIONS (INSTALLED CAPACITY, MW) Three Gorges Dam, China (a2,500) Itaipu Dam, Brazil/Paraguay (14,000) Guri, Venezuela (0,850) Tucurui, Brazil (8,370) Grand Coulee, United States (6,809) Using the power of the sun, wind and water, euery nation should be replacing fossil-fuelled power stations with a greener alternative. These are the most successful Green power producing countries in the world.
