The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.

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?

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

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.

The numbers are for Québec only.

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.
