  Did you know that the government does NOT consider hydro as a 
renewable energy source?  ALL our local power is hydro yet they have 
to comply with the graduated percentage of "renewable" energy generated, 
by putting in wind and solar.  They already have a lot of solar in but it 
won't 
be near enough in a few years.  I think the number goes to something like 
20% by 2020!  I believe fuel cell is in the list with wind and solar, like 
most 
of those aren't actually using hydrocarbons.
