everything we do have environmental impact..even breathing. When we built dams thousands of KM away from anyone who may be experience bad effect should we sweat over a few fish and some change in the soil?

You will be surprised at the chain effect it will spark on the ecosystem and how it affects us because we also eat the same fish. And don't forget that soil quality will affect the ground water supply. Comment is coming from someone with a Master degree in environmental management :-) You gotta believe...
the dams are literally, in our case, 1400 km away. No commercial fishing or water supply come from there. But the real question is: compare to what? Coal, windmill, natural gas?
Not comparing to anything here. Just merely pointing out that "anyone who may be experience bad effect should we sweat over a few fish and some change in the soil?" is a myopic view in ecology and biodiversity loss.
Alternative energy can always be sourced due to human knowledge advancement. It is reversible.
An ecosystem when affected, or even biodiversity loss, can be IRREVERSIBLE.
