switzerland: hydroelectric dams



Switzerland, endowed with the Alps and thousands of lakes, is a global leader in sustainability. Hydroelectric dams, such as the one shown here at Lac d’Emosson in southern Valais, have supplied most of the nation’s electricity for about 50 years. That share will probably increase after voters in 2017 approved a law that will phase out nuclear plants and increase the use of renewable energy, including hydropower.
