  I'm pretty agnostic, but...

  When it comes to renewable energy, I'm pretty agnostic, whether it's hydro (large and small), wind, solar, geothermal or biomass... as long as it's done correctly to mitigate the impacts on the populations and the biosphere.

  And as a Quebecois, I'm well aware of them. 20 years ago we took a lot of heat in the US for building large reservoirs and thousands of miles of 735kV power lines. More recently, the deployment of wind farms in the Gaspé peninsula were faced with opposition and backlogs from overbooked turbine manufacturers.

  Have we made the right choices then? For one thing, we don't have to make the same kind of decisions you're faced with in the next decade. On A choice of primary energies: renewable electrons win the gold posted 1 year, 3 months ago 58 Responses
