The measures include a solar panel “eco-fee” and standardized rules for locating wind and solar projects as the province delays a playbook for energy developers to 2028.
Its very unfortunate that this outcome was foreseen, there was an opportunity in the 80s for the crearion of sovereign fund. Yes change is scary, and that’s the reason we’re all in this together that’s why we need to support Canadians, not the o&g industry
Wistfully wishing we’d heeded good sense 50 years ago doesn’t change the present. Supporting Canadians is a very nice sentiment, but for the 5 million or so Albertans (or at least the 3.5 million who aren’t absolute lunatics) it’s as hollow as “thoughts and prayers.” What “just energy transition” options are there, when we already sold off our only state oil company 25 years ago? Where’s the copper and lithium projects, the domestic manufacturing jobs, the public works infrastructure to make living and working outside the St. Lawrence corridor viable in this country? Where are the geothermal plants that make use of our skills and tools for drilling to replace dirty oil, coal and gas plants? Why are all our investment dollars in foreign tax havens instead of building a Canada worth living in?
I am so sick and tired of the UCP and the CCP. I’m tired of this country bending over backward for foreign oil. At the same time, you can’t feed a family on sentiment.

No of course it doesn’t.

It doesn’t have to be, the money spent on o&g should be spent in areas like that.

Nationalise it

See the 30 billion$

Again the o&g money should be spent on things like this.

Exactly, fuck the upc and the ccp. We need to divest in oil, its hard now with littler prospects, it will be so much harder when all that O&G money dries up.
