Russia also has an impressive potential in hydroelectric power, above all in the Siberia, but it is true dams are a more immeditate threat to Nature than nuclear power plants, and probably as expensive as this. The advantage is that they don´t need a treatment like the nuclear waste which can last for thousands of years. And, as we know, the worse disaster in an hydroelectric plant just means several dozens of lifes, while in a nuclear plant it means thousands of people dead and hundreds of acres lost for agriculture.
