Quebec has gone about 50 years.
- goodcanadian 10y agoI think your offhand comment deserves more attention, so here is a link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydro-Qu%C3%A9bec https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydro-Qu%C3%A9bec
- herge 10y agoWell, solidly 95% of Quebec's electricity is from hydro-electric. It still keeps other types of power plants online for research purposes.
- Raphmedia 10y agoWe are lucky to have big rivers far north. This allowed us to destroy entire ecosystems and native lands where nobody could see or hear about it. Hydro electricity is not without its downside.

- dredmorbius 10y agoWell, it could. But it would have to dig a hell of a hole.... Denmark is utilising a resource it has in some abundance: wind. Part of a renewables strategy is using what you've got, not what you wish for.
