Energy is never created, just transformed. A dam converts kinetic energy to potential energy when it stores water, then said potential energy into electricity when it releases it.

You wont be able to install infinite dams in a place.

The current turbine in a reactor is most certainly a very optimal number. If you want more, you build more reactors. A power plant usually has 4 reactors.
