There is no end of gushing about China’s cheap solar panels—but when was the last time you saw a paean to hydroelectricity? Instead, that pure status is now reserved above all for wind and solar. The manufacture of solar panels involves the environmental costs from mining, waste disposal, and carbon emissions.

With wind and solar prices dropping, it can be easy to forget that two-thirds of the globe’s renewable energy comes from hydropower. Hydropower’s behemoth dams of old can singlehandedly rewrite the courses of rivers, creating winding reservoirs in their wake. So too are their counterparts in Western Africa. The result?

If a cap-and-trade program includes offsets, regulated entities have the opportunity to purchase the “emission credits” generated by carbon offset projects to help them meet their compliance obligations. In this way, offsets would complement the more traditional emissions trading that can occur between two covered sources.
