Alberta could be a renewables powerhouse, with solar and wind like nobody's business, but nooooo we have to lick the boots of oil and gas no matter what.

It's worse than that: It was on track to be, in 2023 AB accounted for 92% of renewables growth in Canada.

Then Smith put on the "renewables pause"...

And now AB is courting AI companies to build datacenters in southern AB.

Like, it's all such a fucking scam to induce demand on oil and gas.

That being said, I really really wish we could actually export at scale. Canada could absolutely kneecap Russias ability to wage war simply by undercutting their oil and gas sector.

We don't have to artificially create local demand. We could/should service legacy demand and fuck Putin while doing it.
