RE:Electricity Wow !!! This is the beginning off all... Very good point...
Quebec 500$ / month
Ontario 1500$ / month
New York 2400 / month
Oh !!! But wait a second, prize is one thing...
How you produce it is something else (hydro, nuclear, coal, oil, gas).
Oh wait a second again, prize & source is CAPITAL but what about the most efficient & secure distribution process in the WORLD.
Yup, you guess right... For the last hundred years QUEBEC province have been the WORLD leader in all those 3 subjects (energy source, technology & distribution).
So having said that, no wonder why NY, MAINE, MASS, VERMONT, etc, etc, etc,mwant to be part of it... You just it the soft spot here and the real issues at high level...
but Hydro won't just be enough in the long run... And not just here...
Future generations have a big challenge and creativity (new technologies) is the key here...
Only my opinion, of corse...
