Demand for hydropower surges as Trump clamps down on clean energy

Demand for hydropower is increasing as electricity prices rise across the US. The Great Lakes region, which contains one of the largest freshwater deposits globally, will soon implement next-generation tidal-powered generators. Although the Great Lakes themselves lack significant tides or currents, the waterways connecting them do, making submersible hydroelectric technology a potential key component in clean energy efforts. Major cities such as Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, and Detroit are located in this region, where electricity demand is on the rise.
