Overflowing with Hydro

Most of my discussions on power have been centred on the concept of authority. I have overlooked other forms of power.

I was recently interrupted from complaining about the dreary, drizzling, drab weather conditions this week by someone pointing out its bright side. They are an abundant source of hydroelectric power.

Nuclear waste takes over a million years to break down. It's too expensive and risky to send into space on a rocket, and we can't bury it in the ground without the threat of creating patches of giant, radioactive vegetables that would turn us all into freaks.

But B.C. hydro is clean. And we have so much of it here that we can export it for profit.

Something to be grateful for this Christmas.
