Absolutely nobody apart from you, stop creating strawman arguments.

If you aren't suggesting that the article recommends removing hydro from our network, what, exactly, is your problem? The idea is that rooftop solar, wind, and other locally-based power generation systems will eventually reduce or eliminate the demand for large centralized hydro and coal generators. Why is this a bad thing? What is your problem with having this as a goal?

The author of the article does seem to think we won’t need them in the future though.

Not needing them is not the same as removing them is it? So if hydro is going away, how exactly is rooftop solar and other local generation a bad thing that won't work, as you have implied?

I'm actually not sure what you're trying to say here.
