Canada bet heavily on hydro as a means of cleaning up its carbon footprint; it is the third-largest hydroelectricity producer in the world. But with the climate becoming markedly drier in recent years, Canada’s utilities are now investing hundreds of billions of dollars to diversify their grids, in some cases leaning on power plants fueled by gas or coal to meet mushrooming demand.

    Yah, Canada is down to 80% of the world’s fresh water.

      Just because we have an abundance doesn’t mean we should treat it poorly.

      Thank GOD! I thought fresh water levels world wide were critically low and one of the single most important issues in the coming decades!

      Dodged a bullet this time. Thank you Jesus!
