Wind and solar yes, hydro no. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Quebec#Hydroelectric http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_power_stations_in_Quebe...
Hydro is capable and proven in GW-scale generation.
- pjscott 14y agoHydro is great and proven technology where you have the geography for it. The Three Gorges Dam, for instance, provides up to a staggering 22.5 GW. The limitation is geography.
- Turing_Machine 14y agoUnfortunately most of the good large-scale hydro sites were exploited long ago.
