Pour la plupart des Québécois, Hydro, c’est la bébitte derrière le compteur qui charge un certain prix pour l’électricité, parfois plus cher, mais jamais moins. Pourquoi un tel fonctionnement? La raison pourrait vous surprendre…Le transport à 735 000 volts, une technologie inventée dans les années 1960, est LA grande prouesse technique d’Hydro-Québec. Parmi les grandes innovations québécoises tels la motoneige, la souffleuse et le biberon Playtex™, c’est en fait la ligne à 735 000 volts que l’Ordre des technologues professionnels du Québec considère comme « l’innovation technologique québécoise du 20e siècle ». Devant même la poutine et les ustensiles Starfrit™, c’est tout dire. La réputation internationale d’Hydro-Québec vient de là, bien avant ses barrages. Et c’est dans le but de maîtriser cette technologie très particulière qu’Hydro-Québec a créé l’IREQ et embauché les meilleurs cerveaux aux quatre coins de la planète. En réalité, le transport à 735 kV a été bien davantage qu’une simple prouesse technique. Il s’est agi d’un véritable choix de société, qui a changé toute la donne énergétique pour le Québec.

Choisir de faire construire sa maison c'est prendre une décision qui va nous engager dans un parcours dont l'aboutissement doit être synonyme de satisfaction. On sait que les étapes sont nombreuses, que certaines d'entre elles seront plus longues ou plus difficiles à franchir que d'autres, on a une idée précise de là où l'on veut aller... mais sait-on vraiment comment s'y prendre pour bien commencer et aller jusqu'au bout ? Avant que le projet ne se concrétise, on devra réunir beaucoup d'informations, faire de nombreuses démarches et se familiariser avec des procédures touchant à des domaines variés, finalement aussi nombreux qu'il y a de métiers dans le secteur de la construction ! Entre le budget disponible et l'éventail des choix qui s'offrent au futur propriétaire, entre la réglementation et l'offre des professionnels du bâtiment, il conviendra d'accorder les voeux des uns - qui habiteront la maison - aux contraintes des autres - à qui l'on fera appel, le tout dans un délai qu'il faudra également prévoir et tenter de respecter. C'est cet exercice-là que les auteurs de ce petit guide ont décidé de faire réussir ici à leurs lecteurs. Désormais classique, il est entièrement à jour des nouvelles dispositions réglementaires.

Keep healthy, productive bees without chemicals, stress, or constant intervention. Master beekeeper reveals natural methods that work with bee biology instead of against it, producing more honey with less work while building stronger, disease-resistant colonies. Why Chemical-Free Beekeeping Works Better: Conventional beekeeping relies on treatments that weaken bee immunity and create dependency. This natural approach strengthens hives from within, resulting in healthier bees, better honey yields, and dramatically reduced colony losses. What You'll Master Natural hive management - work with bee instincts rather than fighting them  Chemical-free disease prevention - build immunity through nutrition and environment Stress-free seasonal care - minimal intervention techniques that bees prefer  Honey harvesting ethics - take surplus while ensuring winter survival Problem diagnosis - read bee behavior to prevent issues before they start Results You Can Expect: Beekeepers using these methods report 90% lower colony losses, 40% higher honey yields, and 75% less time spent on hive maintenance compared to conventional chemical-dependent approaches. Transform beekeeping from constant worry to joyful partnership with nature. Your bees (and your harvest) will thank you.AcknowledgmentsForeword— The Bee Book That Makes Sense: A Roadmap to Natural Beekeeping Part I: A Path to Natural Apiculture A Brief Introduction How It All Got StartedA Small Side Note The Industrial and Natural Approaches The Bee Colony's Intelligence The Goals of This Book The Tree Hollow as the Bees' Natural Home Some Useful Facts about Comb The Bee Colony's Developmental CycleA Year in the Life of a Bee Colony A Word or Two on Wintering The Ideal Comb: How Deep Is Deep Enough?

Design and build a hoophouse or polytunnel, and grow abundant produce year-round in any climate The Year-Round Hoophouse is the comprehensive guide to designing and building a hoophouse and making a success of growing abundant, delicious fresh produce all year, whatever your climate and land size. Chapters include: Hoophouse siting, size, style, frame construction, and tools Bed layout, soil, crop rotations, and extensive coverage of various crops for all seasons Organic solutions to pests and diseases Disaster preparation Tested resources for each chapter. The Year-Round Hoophouse is ideal for farmers who wish to move into protected growing, as well as beginning farmers in rural and urban spaces. It is an essential reference resource for professors and students of courses in sustainable agriculture, as well as interns and apprentices learning on the job. Growing in hoophouses – also known as high tunnels or polytunnels – reduces the impact of an increasingly unpredictable climate on crops, mitigates soil erosion, extends the growing season, keeps leafy greens alive through the winter, and enables growers to supply more regional food needs.

Learn how to use natural no-till systems to increase profitability, efficiency, carbon sequestration, and soil health on your small farm. The Organic No-Till Farming Revolution is the comprehensive farmer-developed roadmap showing how no-till lowers barriers to starting a small farm, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, increases efficiency and profitability, and promotes soil health. Farming without tilling has long been a goal of agriculture, yet tilling remains one of the most dominant paradigms; almost everyone does it. But tilling kills beneficial soil life, burns up organic matter, and releases carbon dioxide. If the ground could instead be prepared for planting without tilling, time and energy could be saved, soil organic matter increased, carbon sequestered, and dependence on machinery reduced.This hands-on manual offers: Why roller-crimper no-till methods don't work for most small farms A decision-making framework for the four no-till methods: occultation, solarization, organic mulches grown in place, and applied to beds Ideas for starting a no-till farm or transitioning a working farm A list of tools, supplies, and sources. This is the only manual of its kind, specifically written for natural and small-scale farmers who wish to expand or explore chemical-free, regenerative farming methods.
