Amanda — Tue, 21 Feb 2017 21:18:00 +0000

Roma — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 17:40:19 +0000

I recently found out that over 95% of the electricity produced by BC Hydro comes from hydroelectric sources, which floored me. I grew up in Alberta, where the majority of power comes from coal and natural gas, so my concept of electricity sources doesn’t include water, except for as a possible “alternative” energy source.
