20 of the Ppt is particularly suss, and I suspect that this is all just a
vehicle for the Giant company to sell more gear with a minor benfit for Hydro,
who don't see actually thermselves as having a serious problem anyway. If
Hydro Quebec did have a problem they need to take seriously, they would
surely have off-peak residential tariffs. It could be that they
are like the old Hydro Electric Commission in Tasmania who, up to the 1970s,
were not that seriously into the business of producing electricity. Their main
line of business was building dams.</span></font></div>
