   Once upon a time, didn't Canada actually reroute, or reverse, the flow of   
   some of their rivers in order to build more hydro plants?

   The city I grew up in had a huge hydro plan at the falls on the river.  I   
   toured it as a Cub Scout. ;)  It made a big impression.  The Canadian   
   references to "hydro" may seem more logical to me than others.
