    Default countries and hydroelectric power

    Look at the countries and what percentage of hydroelectric power they use.

    I wonder how accurate it is though. What other power sources are they comparing, and is it broken down by diesel generators, nuclear, natural gas burnt, wind or hydro electric as the source of the electricity.

    There is no way that the US consumption lags behind Canada. We are 1/10 the size, and most of our electricity in the west comes from hydroelectric, while in the east it's partly that, partly nuclear and some deisel.

    Are they measuring useage or power generation or a mixture of both?
