Hydro Power and its Disastrous Repercussions

While renewable energy is a great thing that doesn't really output any chemicals into the world, but its placement on the other can could cause issues for more than just a few species. In a any given environment you can make the assumption that there are many organisms that live off one another, and by setting up many dams it will cause a lot of problems. I feel like there should be a limit of how many of these dams can be placed from one another. Renewable energy is important but damaging an ecosystem is not the way to fix things. If dames were placed at an existing fall off from a lake, I think that would make much more sense, since there would not be that much disturbance of the ecosystem.
