Decades ago, I was extremely fortunate to have had a career as a commercial pilot, flying floatplanes along the coast of British Columbia. The indigenous villages (as well as the logging and fishing camps) typically relied on electricity created by diesel generators. But diesel power had many drawbacks—not the least of which was the incessant generator noise. The solution was to harness available water resources and generate clean, quiet hydropower. I had the pleasure of supplying transport to the engineers and installers.
