Note the limitation of hydroelectric power, a form of renewable source of energy....The irony here is that the very problem hydroelectric power is trying solve (i.e. global warming and the consequent climate change) is hampered by the problem itself.....

But the dependency on hydropower makes the kingdom vulnerable to seasonal variations in water levels and climate change. This year, it was forced to ration daytime power supply after dry conditions hobbled the operation of its hydropower plants.

From the point of view of energy security, health, cost and minimising climate and other environmental risks, renewable energy is already a more attractive option than large-scale coal power plants delivering transboundary power."
