Saving electricity with CFL, LED

[Ferrocyanide]

Huh?

if you have a finite amount of hydro energy you can sell, you can be sure to sell every last MWh of it at a profit, or at no profit.   either way the same amount ot renewable energy makes it to the end user, why would you not want to sell it at profit?

I can tell you why some people argue it should not be sold at profit.   their objective is to pretend to be environmentally concerned while squeezing environmental energy producers financially.   their ulterior motive is to create the situation where investment in green energy look to be unprofitable, so as to reduce the amount of renewable le energy that would be built to compete with dirty energy.

much of the crocodile tears about how renewable developers are insincere if they try to make a profit are shed by lobbiests who work for coal generation lobby.   wonder why?

I’m a little confused as well since you wrote:

Hydro québéc sell much of their excess hydroelectric generation to New England and New York, particular New York metro area, through dedicated transmission corridors. Hydro Quebec gets paid higher New York and New England wholesale prices rather than lower Quebec prices when they do this. The excess revenue it generates through those these sells are partly used to reduce rates for its own retail customers.

So the less power people of Quebec uses, the more that can be made available for sell at a profit to the US. The more profit there will be to reduce rates for its retail customers.

So, I’m not sure what is going on. Are you saying you are in favor of the plan?
Are you saying New Yorkers getting stiffed with a higher bill compared to Quebecers?
Are you saying that you want New Yorkers and Quebecers to pay the same rate?
Are you saying that hydro energy is a limited resource and New Yorkers should pay more?
Are you saying that hydro energy is a limited resource and New Yorkers + Quebecers should pay more
