	<link>http://www.vpr.net/news_detail/88654/big-hydro-environmental-impacts/</link>
	<description><![CDATA[
Large
hydroelectric dams are seen as one of the most environmentally friendly energy
sources, but
damming rivers and redirecting their flow isn't benign. Fish habitat is
harmed. Mercury is released into the environment. And the projects themselves
can even release greenhouse gases.
