   Really?  How much solar power is currently produced in Canada - do you    
   figure there'll be enough for millions of automobiles anytime soon?   
      
   BTW hydro reservoirs like McNaughton Lake (Mica Dam) & Williston Lake    
   (WAC Bennett Dam)in BC produce significant amounts of greenhouse gases    
   due to the breakdown of organic matter from what used to be forest.
