With the ever diminishing supply of fossil fuels, the world's scientists are searching for alternative forms of energy (or at least we hope they are). One such source is hydroelectricity. Despite the fact that the majority of the world is water, some still scoff at the idea that water could provide enough energy.
You may want to point those people to Canada. After Brazil and China, Canada is the third largest producer of hydroelectricity. The majority of their energy comes from hydroelectricity in fact. In 2011, they consumed what was equal to 85.2 megatonnes of oil of hydroelectricity.
Quebec in particular uses a huge amount of hydroelectricity. Their 59 dams make it possible for them to get 95.73% of their power from hydropower. British Columbia, Manitoba, Labrador and Newfoundland are other provinces and territories that utilize a great deal of hydroelectric power.
