Maybe everyone should decarbonize? Why should Alberta get special treatment and get to be the last ones in the world to get off of fossil fuels? This is a GLOBAL problem, not an Ontario, BC, Quebec, Alberta problem.
Anyway Alberta is being dumb. There are companies that want to develop wind energy in Alberta, but Danielle Smith blocks them. What happened to letting the market decide? Maybe Alberta could at minimum just let the market decide. But their leaders are in the pocket of oil companies... American oil companies. They're willing to sell out their own country to get the last scraps of oil revenue and then they'll move to the US leaving their province to economic depression in the future.
Peak oil for electricity was last year. Peak oil for transportation is coming soon. It's all downhill for fossil fuels.
It's an economic imperative for Alberta to transition it's economy. But they've been scammed by the oil industry into thinking they'll be making big money from oil forever and Global Warming was invented by Justin Trudeau or some such bullshit. If they continue to believe everything the oil companies say, they will be left behind by the world and become the poorest and most backwards part of Canada.
