Canada bet heavily on hydro as a means of cleaning up its carbon footprint; it is the third-largest hydroelectricity producer in the world. But with the climate becoming markedly drier in recent years, Canada’s utilities are now investing hundreds of billions of dollars to diversify their grids, in some cases leaning on power plants fueled by gas or coal to meet mushrooming demand.

Remember when people on the left were saying that the only climate action is ending capitalism and degrowing and all anyone had to say was "But green growth!" Well that thing we said was going to happen is happening: That they were lying about the "green" and only wanted the "growth" except now it's even worse because that growth isn't going to making people's lives better, it's going to wars and genocides.

I never get over how stupid their arguments are.

"Science says this is bad."
"Oh yeah, well they are just in it for the money!"

Sure, those filthy rich academics dedicating their life to the pursuit of truth and science are such corporate hogs. The global petrochemical industry on the other hand you can trust, because they would never lie or endanger lives for money. They are idealists.

I don't think anyone is actually saying that.
