Not yet suitable for me, -40c snowing 130 km to nearest fast charge station (if they have one yet!) round trip to the city 900km plus. Okay for local shopping.

Good, MHP, not a place for politics.

Merry Christmas to all.

🤞looking good.

Any updates for this project?

Nice to see there is a good turnout. We still have ours on the 11th, tomorrow.

Excellent presentation, lets hope it gets off the ground asap.

Yes, 60% the rest is a mix, nuclear, gas, oil, wind, solar, stopped using coal but sell it to the USA who generate with it and we buy that power! $$$ its odd when people loose hydro, meaning electricity!

Over here no one calls electricity electricity they call it Hydro! still confuses me.... (so easily done)

Our Bay of Fundy has up to 16 meter tidal difference, I didn't realize that many countries were successfully using tidal/wave power, once harnessed the power, electricity can be moved over very long distances! Canada has lots of Hydro power.

Ditto Canada. Our government is also pouring BILLIONS of dollars into foreign companies to build batteries but we are still to see production! or any significant improvement in battery technology that make EV's viable in our climate and geography. Steam and electricity were the automobile preferred means of power until gasoline/petrol took over, (gasoline/petrol was a discarded byproduct) when and if they improve EV's to be at least as practical in all environments, and not just city driving. Industry will be clamouring to build batteries and not having to be bribed too! I don't see ANY proposals for remote or emergency electrical generation that presently uses IC. I rely on my small IC generator for our power outages, especially at -40c or +30c! I can see small nuclear power packs! I still think tidal power is still the largest unharness source of global power! I do hope that the proposed Data Center is built, even if the employment numbers aren't as large as advertised, there is still construction and then maintenance.
