      Tbf, depending on the region, that’s just how the electricity is made. The fbxl network runs off of electricity generation made up of 86% hydroelectric and biomass, with the balance made up of wind, solar, and natural gas.

      As I have repeatedly repeatedly said, with a geography of canada, the entire country could be 100% renewables in a decade or two if there was a real focus on hydroelectric generation that is presently powering entire regions, and it would make people’s lives better in the process with plentiful inexpensive hydroelectric we would make electric heat the most competitive and thus would start offsetting burning fossil fuels for building heat which would have a massive impact on carbon emissions since buildings make up 25% of total emissions and most building heat is done with fossil fuels because electricity is too expensive and the costs are rising so people are migrating to fossil fuels even with the carbon tax…

      But I digress…

        If it were hosted in Nova Scotia half of its power would come from coal. So I don’t take it for granted

      Also two good reasons for me as well.

      It’s strange that it doesn’t report a Canadian flag on the graphic in the post heading though. Looks like Netherlands?
