Where in the world you live if 94% of energy comes from hydroelectricity? It has to be Norway that is pretty unique country in both culture and landscape. I dont think there is any other country where that is possible.
And i can admit that in Norway my points fall flat.
I dare to say that in the most of the world air quality is worse in the cities than in the countryside. Also i dare to say most of the time even where you live air quality is worse in the cities.
I dont really understand your point with the sut on the snow? If you live in the city the snow is grey and nasty meaning there is more pollution? Does that not mean there is less pollution in the countryside? Im mean per person there might be more in the rural areas, but i dont really think your lungs care.
Cant find any credible source that says Canada produces even near to that percentage of electricity with hydro.
I tought we were talking pollution as a whole.
Btw. Im little intrested now why your cabin producess so much sut? What fire wood you use as a fire wood in canada? What kind ovens you use? Is the chimneys straight pipes or what?
Aktshually, there’s a few municipalities with their own power companies. I knew about Hydro Sherbrooke but TIL there’s also Hydro Magog, Hydro Coaticook and Hydro Joliette.
In 2021, Quebec generated almost all of its electricity from renewables including hydro (94%), wind (5%), biomass (0.6%) and solar (<0.1%), showing just how much of a renewable powerhouse the province is. Today, its utility operator, Hydro-Quebec, is the largest in Canada, playing an integral role in power exports to U.S. states like New York, New England, and Maine.
Quebec’s continued leadership in providing renewable electricity to North American customers is something we can all be proud of.
Im mean per person there might be more in the rural areas, but i dont really think your lungs care.
I really don’t think it’s possible to transplant every city’s population into low-density countryside locations. Without the majority of people dying, anyway.

Guess again.

And the whole point is about the pollution created by wood burning, not if cities are more polluted in the first place!

He is referring Québec, our main (only?) power supplier is even called Hydro-Québec, but they also do wind and solar power.

We don’t talk about those…
(TIL, thanks!)
The numbers are for Québec only.
I heat primarily with wood and no you don’t get gray fucking snow around the house. This person is exaggerating for effect.
