Far from being "green," many hydroelectric power plants release more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than large coal-fired power stations. This is because of the rotting vegetation in the reservoir. According to World Commission on Dams, a group of scientists, engineers and environmentalists supported by the World Bank, the world's biggest financier of large dams.

Wow, don't they consider hydro generation as renewable?

"Renewable electricity is produced from energy sources that are replenished naturally or through sustainable management practices, and are not depleted (at current levels of consumption)."

if you believe we are running out of water.

[ziggy]

We must be running low,people pay more for a liter of water at the sev then they do for gas and then bitch about the price of gas.

When I have to fill my car with water that I can only get at a store I'll start complaining about that too.

This is what I want to buy. World's First Drivable Fuel Cell Hybrid-electric Plug-in Vehicle by Ford.

Featured in QUANTUM OF SOLACE, if anyone paid attention to the car over Olga Kurylenko.

The worst Bond movie ever...

No, I'll say this for the Bond series, Sean Connery was the best Bond ever, but the new Bond Daniel Craig is a great new bond.

Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko drives first Ford Ka (Hydrogen car); UK Ka prices start at £7,995

No, there have been worse Bond movies... For your eyes only comes to mind.

Nope, anytime Bond doesn't nail the chick, say Bond, James Bond, or have any cool gadgets, it ain't a Bond movie.

If this was Bourne part 4, then it would have been fine, but Bond used to be the best job in the world; awesome cars, cool gadgets, hot women, and all the martinis the liver could handle.

Now, Bond is just another generic action movie (some guy who runs around punching and shooting people) these days.

Wow, don't they consider hydro generation as renewable?

Their definition seems to be pretty flaky. They state that

$1:

Large hydroelectric power plants can have significant impacts on the environment and are no longer considered to be green. Only small run-of-river power plants (those installed without damming up streams and rivers and below 30 MW are considered to be green or renewable energy sources.

Considered by whom? I've seen some small run-of-river hydro projects that have done some damage. The reason that they don't do much damage is because they are tiny in comparison to the big dams. But you add up one hundred "run-of-river" plants and I bet you'd get damage comparable to a large dam.

There's no such thing as free useful energy. Second Law of Thermodynamics. The sooner folks face up to that fact,the better.

The electricity has to come from somewhere and thats most likely a coal fired generating plant so there is a trade off.

Not in Canada.

Sheerness and genessee in Alberta,boundary dam in sask.
All coal fired generators.

It's easier to control/regulate emissions from a handful of power plants than from millions of cars.

This was suppose to be a continuation of Casino Royal, where he wanted revenge for the murder of the love of his life.

I am sure the next will be more impressive and more gadgets.

I see your point though, nevertheless I did by the BlueRay and added it to my collection.

Now instead of seeing someone walking down the highway with a gas can you will see them packing a battery.

The article says all the electricity comes from in Canada and is renewable,its not.
Weve allready had brownouts from electrical demand.

Now those electric scooters on the other hand....that would be the franchise to buy right now.

Anyone remember an old episode of Bizarre where the guy invented an electric car that ran on AA batteries? Wired in SERIES so he spent the entire episode under the hood trying to find out which one was dead?

[Proculation]

Just imagine all the cost of installation for service stations. And all the place needed to "pump". Even taking 1 minute to fill and sometimes you have to wait. Imagine 45 min.
