they flooded the land behind the power plants and forced plenty of animals from their habitats.

Damming has its advantages. In addition, hydroelectricity is nearly 100% energy efficient (the kinetic energy of water caused by gravity is used to produce electricity), produces very little pollution, but Im not saying it doesn't have its own drawbacks, which every energy solution does, for example, land disruption, though that could be disputed because of a dam's flood control.

dams can cause floods... if the reservoirs overfill, they can't always get the water out fast enough.

Really Mav, it's like "oh no, stop harping on Canada, they're perfect. Ignore everything they do wrong, let's yell at the US some more."

if Canada really wants to have clean environmentally-safe power, they should build more nuclear plants.

But then you're still disrupting the river habitats. Wildlife has to fit into the equation somehow.

(Though, birds do run into them sometimes.) Sad

the problem with wind is that it isn't constant. You have to set the windmills in the windiest place you can find and hope for fronts to come through.
Also, wind power doesn't generate too much, even in gale conditions.

Really Mav, whining about Amazonian deforestation in the Bush thread is kinda like complaining about a lumpy mattress to a plumber.

Adding more police, etc. to the areas, maybe throw in a helicopter or two to patrol the skies. They see any, they call in the Forest Friends SWAT Team.
