Document Summary
Ca(cid:374)ada"s e(cid:374)ergy strea(cid:373: hydro and biomass are smaller is use but are growing. Electricity supply mix: conventional steam coal, turbine oil & gas, coal is missing because its not healthy. In canada we have a lot of energy from hydro, gas, nuclear ** Fish ladder: fish can move up the dam. Run-of-the-river: contrast to reservoir dam is the run of the river dam. Fish (cid:373)igratio(cid:374) is(cid:374)"t really disrupted (cid:271)e(cid:272)ause its not too high they can go over. Now all the dams in canada are the run of the river type dams: but get less energy (less reliable form of energy) but environmentalist favor this form because less harmful. Tidal energy: with rising tides you can fill reservoir and release water flow generating electricity. Solar energy: active solar technologies use of mechanical equipment to capture, convert (and occasionally) concentrate solar energy into a more usable form. It is clean, and becoming less expensive as technology improves.
