I really don't follow your logic. If your statistic is correct than we have a good portion of that 2% of potentual increase between Quebec and B.C.
Energy is Energy. How can Hydro Electric power be a bad thing? If nothing else it would replace the need for more oil dependant methods of generating electricity.
The solutions are there. It's just not going to be from one source.
