Sourced from Ribes nigrum (a plant native to parts of Europe and Asia), black currant extract is typically derived from black currant fruit or from the oil of black currant seeds. Black currant extracts are widely available in dietary supplement form. Black currant oil contains gamma-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid found to reduce inflammation. In addition, black currant berries (a substance often consumed as a whole food) contain high amounts of anthocyanins, a type of antioxidant.
Hydroelectric energy is the cleanest form of renewable generation as it does not release any harmful gases, carbon dioxide, and other pollutants which directly or indirectly affect the environment.
At Yukon Energy, we use water to create most of our electricity. That's why most of our plants are called hydroelectric facilities: hydro means water. Power plants that use water to make electricity are built near rivers. Our Whitehorse plant, for instance, is on the Yukon River. Dams are built across rivers to hold back the water.
