  • I’m not really sure how I feel about hydroelectric being classified as renewable. On one hand it doesn’t emit but when you look at projects like the James Bay plant, it’s hard to ignore the massive amount of emissions that went into creating the infrastructure and the permanent impact on the landscape.

    I’d suppose this is kind of off-topic and is more of a question of how renewable hydroelectric power generation is on a project by project basis based on environmental and ecosystem impact.

    Edit: forgot to mention, the impact on indigenous lands as well in many of the colonized countries.



  • While I believe that people had differing opinions (they always do), I find it hard to accept that your anecdotal evidence speaks for all of the Baltic states populations that lived under the USSR.

    By reducing everyone’s arguments against you to, “you just read what you did on the internet, I talked to real people therefore my argument is more valid”, the stance that you’re trying to take is not rooted in good faith.

    Perhaps being able to cite surveys or census data, or at least some form of statistic, would add some foundation to your argument.
