I don’t think thats true. Hydro already accounts for about 25% of Alaska’s energy (source). Here’s a list of the hydro plants noaa tracks, including a 20MW dam under construction.
There’s also this massive dam that could power 2/3rds of alaskas energy usage, it gets proposed whenever oil prices rise and then abandoned as soon as oil prices drop again. I’m not entirely sure of practicality of this one but it’s interesting for sure.
