Interesting that financing for this research came from the country building the most new coal plants right now, and on an out of control trajectory for emissions.
The other one, of course, has the president that think it's ok to cut down the Amazonian rainforest.
Both of them have a pretty good reason to discredit hydro.
- sudosysgen 5y agoWhat? China loves hydro. They're building the most hydro in the world. They have the largest hydroelectric dam in the world (built with the help of Hydro Quebec btw, though the Federal government didn't like that iirc)

[0] - a 7x increase per capita since 1973 (+532%) - 48% increase for its global emissions since 2007 It's in their interest to make Hydro not look so great so they can claim that the west isn't much cleaner than they are.
