Letter: Letter: Damming the Bio-Bio

Published 21 March 1992

From H. H. LANGSHUR

Your article on Canada’s hydro power was fair, so far as this resident
of Quebec can judge. However, for even better balance, and had space permitted,
one would have liked to see some comparison with the known and potential
evils of other forms of power. While current or under-construction generating
capacity seems sufficient in the short to medium term, given reasonable
energy conservation, more capacity of some sort will be required eventually.
One suspects that hydro power is still the lesser evil.
