So Canada is building dams and we are building wind mills. It will be interesting to see how much wind power is exactly exported to Canada for pump storage. I bet the Canadian’s accepted that deal because they know that there will be very little of it. Keeping wind mills running in the frozen north isn’t easy. You got to keep them heated when the wind doesn’t blow. When the wind blows to hard..or ice formss..you gotta stop them. The net output will be very low. From a personal point of view, investing in Canadian oil resources or just the EWC is a good bet. They have pursued oil sands, offshore oil, artic oil and gas and pipelines to get it to us. They will get rich off our $4 gas.

LOL

Muast be nice to be in Canada. IF we tried to build a dam here in AK, we would be up to our armpits in lawyers and ‘activists’ trying to stop the permiting, let alone actually building the thing.

My grandkids are doomed......
