Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer (www.pcgamer.com)

In addition to the other thing, dams have a dramatic and disastrous impact on the ecology in the immediate area and the entire riparian system they connect to. It's "green" in terms of emissions but they're still harmful and we should be phasing them out for lower impact alternatives as much as possible.

Should? Definitely, but let's be realistic, we can barely get people off of coal and oil right now.

In the world we live in, Dams have some of the lowest environmental impact compared to the other places we get our energy.

So we probably shouldn't be trying to phase them out while there are much more severe effects being felt from the other base load facilities.
