Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2012 1:05 amI just realized that I haven't seen a piece of coal in my entire life.
No idea what it looks like.
Here in Quebec we're pretty much entirely on hydro-electricity.

Absolutely mind boggling.

There is nothing quite as nice as sitting beside a coal fire on a freezing cold day - the warmth goes right through you quite unlike any other type of heating. Not to mention the wonderful sweet smell of a coal-fired steam loco!

Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2012 3:58 amOoooh yeeeeah. That smell of a coal fire... there's nothing like it. We use wood here but atleast once a year I buy a sack of coal just for a treat. Instant childhood memory trigger of my birthdays on steam train rides.

Great video, Chess! Thanks!

Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2012 5:55 pmAh yeah, the smell of a steam loco. We also use close to entirely hydro-based electricity. We have 14 hydro, 2 wind, 1 coal/natural gas, 1 natural gas and 4 diesel power stations. The diesel power plants are off-grid, and the other wind and natural gas are mostly for small areas.

Very similar to here in NZ.
