Concrete can be made with electrical power or hydrogen

I know this is not widely used, but adoption will come. The amount of energy used to produce concrete required by a dam or for the foundations used for wind turbines is very small compared to the amount of green energy produced.

Oh and excess energy generated from hydro generation could be either stored in grid batteries or used to convert water to hydrogen and shipped elsewhere where it’s needed as an energy source.

Finally nobody is proposing that hydro power be the sole source of electricity. Any economy would and does have a mix of hydro, solar, wind and yes hydrocarbon burning. The objective is to make the hydrocarbon burning diminishingly small % of the mix.
