Full Disclaimer Paul Chiasson/The Canadian Press Hydro-Québec, one of the world’s biggest hydro-power producers, will do something this week that it hasn’t done for as long as anyone can remember: engage its stakeholders in an in-depth exchange about how they see their collective energy future. The goal is to reconnect with Quebeckers in a way that hasn’t happened since maybe the 1998 ice storm, when the corporation’s then-chief executive appeared on TV every day at 5 p.m. wearing his trademark white turtleneck to update an anxious population on the status of the grid. And maybe, just maybe, build the foundations for collective action – on how to move toward a lower-carbon economy and how to pay for it.
