@bertrik @revspace @bert_hubert The other thought on this is that - in Ontario - the base #NuclearPower contribution is essentially static. #HydroelectricPower goes up and down a bit but never drops below a certain (large) amount, gas fills in around wind and solar to make up for demand variance.
I may add to this #dataviz (and hardware version) a bar which shows generation as a fraction of total generation capacity (or maximum over 30 days, or …).

Tropical forests don’t just store carbon — they generate rain. Through “flying rivers,” forest moisture travels far inland, supporting farms and cities.

Even small-scale deforestation can cut precipitation. The Amazon’s rainmaking service alone is valued in the tens of billions annually.
