Quebec's power generation future looks green and clean
Power generators are planning projects that would increase generation capacity by 42%, up to 24,678 MW.
About 99% of the new generation planned is from renewable sources, increasing the renewable energy from 14,572 MW to 21,888 MW or about 88% of the total generation.

Cheap material converts heat to electricity
NEW YORK - So-called thermoelectric generators turn waste heat into electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions, providing what seems like a free lunch. But despite helping power the Mars rovers, the high cost of these devices has prevented their widespread use. Now, researchers have found a way to make cheap thermoelectrics that work just as well as the pricey kind. The work could pave the way for a new generation of greener car engines, industrial furnaces, and other energy-generating devices.
“This looks like a very smart way to realize high performance,” says Li-Dong Zhao, a materials scientist at Beihang University who…
