California has a massive snowpack this year thanks to a wet winter and spring. This means more clean and cheap electricity for the state, as the melting snow will feed the hydroelectric dams. The extra power will also help reduce the risk of blackouts and wildfires during summer.

The absence of #hydroelectricity in this list is also noteworthy, another low-carbon energy source regularly banned from climate policies.
Bad news for #climate and for Europeans: after nuclear energy, #hydroelectricity, the only other energy allowing complete freedom from fossil fuels is targeted: https://eeb.org/library/open-letter-counting-on-new-hydropower-to-accelerate-renewable-energy-deployment-in-europe-is-irresponsible/
NGOs such as WWF France are signatories of this open letter.

“On a national scale, the United States and Canada rely on a very different makeup of sources to generate their electricity.
The U.S. primarily uses natural gas, coal, and nuclear power, while Canada relies on both hydro and nuclear. That said, when zooming in on the province or state level, individual primary electricity sources can differ greatly…”

Are the #Alps suffering a relative drought? Lack of snow = lack of melt water for #hydroelectricity reservoirs. #climate #energy (follow @LionHirth)
