    The doubling-down on oil and using big-government to curb free-market renewables is a conscious choice from the UCP legislature and cabinet. Alberta has no one in Canada to blame but themselves for that.

      Sure, but if they said that aloud instead of continuing to deflect, they’d basically lose their whole identity.

      Alberta is a very sunny place, including, and especially useful, in winter. Prairies overall have few trees to cut down for solar.

      Solar can create a lot of jobs in addition to being cheaper energy even in Alberta. Rulership that is an oligarchist protection racket shouldn’t be allowed to extort the rest of us. Nationalizing the oligarchy is the most, arguably only, productive communist policy. Democracy doesn’t work when they get to fix the outcomes.
