If you claim that nukes are genuine, then you need to prove it.
If you claim the world is flat, then you need to prove it.
See how that works?
You claim the world is a ball, without any proof of it, do you see how that works?
But why do we gotta always go to the flat Earth thing?
You know that hydropower comes from gravity, right? Water sitting in a lake, no power. Falling water, power.
Water is used to generate electricity, for example. It's proven to exist. No doubt at all.

I like this discussion, I think there is at least a small merit of potential to it. But why do we gotta always go to the flat Earth thing? That discussion, imo, is on an entirety different scale and should be discussed on a different thread. Just shouting out my late-night opinion here.

To increase the distance the water falls, due to gravity, and to collect it. The water behind the dam isn't moving. The power is generated when it falls through the turbines.
Why do you think dams are built to stop all those powerful rivers?

You actually believe water that is falling from above is creating the energy?
Oh. What makes the water flow?
The power is generated by the FLOW of water, not the 'fall' of water.

No. It's turning potential energy into kinetic energy. Gravity is good at doing that. The potential energy came from the Sun.

Where are the turbines in hydroelectric dams, at the top or the bottom of the dam?
Where is your explanation for the marker layer of bomb-related fission products in the soil?

What makes the water flow downwards?
Do feel free to find me a lake providing hydroelectric power that doesn't have a dam attached.
Good luck with that one.
Turbines are at the bottom of the dam because it's the all of water from higher elevaation to lower that provides the kinetic energy to power the turbine. That fall is a result of gravity.
My PhD was on reservoirs. I'd run away now if I were you.
