“There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.”
― G.K. Chesterton
A dead philosopher once said, “there are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people.” In light of this, hydropower should also be interesting. Sure, it can lose its luster when immersed in politics and paychecks. Zoom out from personal advancement and hydropower is truly…kind of cool. Hydropower is not something we’ve created. It was here before us and likely after us. For our intents and purposes it kind of just is. That’s neat.
It’s also freakishly helpful! From what history tells us, the ancient Greeks first harnessed hydropower via water wheels. They were a pretty powerful set of hands to grind wheat into flour.
Just as the ancient farmer’s needs were met by tapping into a seemingly never-ending resource, water is now powering homes and cities across the world. Far away from the endless paperwork and computer screens is a dynamic, flowing power and that is interesting to behold.
