Solution
The correct option is B False
Hydroelectric energy is a renewable source of energy. It does not cause pollution of any kind.
After the initial cost of constructing dams and power stations, the production of hydroelectricity is inexpensive as there is no consumption of fuel as in thermal power stations.
Water that flowed through the dam can not come again, but new water from the river can be used in its place for the generation of electricity.
