One possible reason that hydroelectric power isn't used more across the state is that dam construction is expansive. Building dams and the associated infrastructure can require significant financial investment, extensive planning, and long-term commitment, which may deter some states from pursuing hydroelectric power as a viable energy source. Additionally, environmental concerns and the impact on local ecosystems can complicate the construction and operation of hydroelectric facilities.
