Not sure about Canada, but in the US I can not think of any new dam projects
being approved anywhere, as there has been a big enviromental backlash with
the destruction of natural habitates creating the lake.  Not to mention that
in projects such as the Colorado River, the generation of electricity has
always been secondary or tertiary.  1) Water and irrigation needs for desert
communities such as Las Vegas, California, etc. 2) Flood Control, 3) Power
Generation.  Which in the case of the Colorado River, the water level is too
low to generate power most of the time.  So much of the load is still provided
from conventional plants.
