Canada Power Generating Industry
Canada continues to be a world leader in its use of renewable fuel sources to generate power, and more than 63% of the country's operational power units generate renewable energy. Hydropower accounts for more than 50% of the country's 123 gigawatts of generating capacity, making Canada one the world's top hydropower producers.

U.S. Wind Turbine Power Generating Industry
The pace of development of wind power in the past has been largely dependent on tax incentives such as the federal production tax credit (PTC). As power production from wind becomes more profitable and less cost-inhibitive, the renewal of these subsidies grows more uncertain each year.

Coal-Fired Power Generating Industry
The U.S. coal-fired power sector faces a growing number of challenges. Increasingly stringent environmental regulations are forcing the retirement of older, less efficient units, and inexpensive natural gas presents a cost-competitive fuel source that more easily meets new emissions standards.
