Powerful article on #drought and #hydroelectricity.
"By harnessing water, not burning oil or gas, to produce electricity, this new energy matrix was supposed to help mitigate the effects of global climate change — not make Ecuador a victim of it."

Hydropower Was Ecuador’s Answer to Climate Change. Until the Drought Hit.
An extraordinary drought has drained Ecuador’s rivers and reservoirs, leading to power outages of up to 14 hours. Some fear this is the beginning of a larger global crisis.

Yesterday, the EPA finalized rules to reduce CH4 pollution from the oil and gas industry, and finalized updated estimates of the social cost of GHGs. The new value has a central estimate of $190 per ton CO2 in 2020, up from $50 using older models www.epa.gov/system/files...
