Canada's Water Advantage: Hydropower and Canada's Energy Future

As energy demands continue to grow, and the global fuel market's volatility increases, hydropower—or water power—becomes more and more valuable.

Lorena Patterson, President and CEO of WaterPower Canada, joins host Trevor Freeman in conversation about energy bleeding together with security, incorporating hydropower into Canada's plans to double the grid by 2050, and the importance of Indigenous consultation when looking to do so. They also explore how Canada is in a unique position with its hydropower abilities, and why it's hard to draw international comparisons.
