I didn't realize Canadians consumed so much electricity! I'd be interested to see this chart broken down by type of power generation.

Depends on the province. But national level hydro is a big winner. Looks like between hydro and nuclear they cover almost 3/4 or our national power generation.

Now if you look at Alberta where I live that quickly switches to over 60% natural gas. But we like to aspire to being Texas here....
