Love the thinking, but a better option in my opinion is using that heat to brace greenhouses/grow-ops. I know a group who is proposing this in Saskatchewan.
On the subject of Hydro, it's one of the few things I support the NDP in. I strongly believe building the capacity and developing a culture of power generation in the province will greatly offset price increases for domestic consumers in the long run. That said, I also think Manitoba is the perfect jurisdiction for nuclear power generation (e.g. Local supply, water resources, stable craton, etc.). I know we will NEVER see it, though. Too bad.
