Canada Had Designs on Being a Hydro Superpower. Now Its Rivers and Lakes Are Drying Up. (www.wsj.com)

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.

The WSJ only knows so much about Canada, and has its own goals and motives.

Grain of salt, kids.

Science says this is very much happening across the world. The ecological impact of hydroelectric power generation is very, very well studied and agrees with the general sentiment of the article.

Fuck WSJ but let's not ignore science out of spite.
