Transcript: The Three Gorges Dam in China is the world’s largest hydroelectric power station, producing renewable energy from water. The falling water rotates blades of a turbine, which then spins a generator that converts the mechanical energy of the spinning turbine into electrical energy. Hydropower represents about 17% of total electricity production and is nonpolluting. Very interesting!
