The height of hypocrisy: the Government of Alberta - which has a ban on new renewable energy projects - boasts about how they are supporting wind and solar power in this video made for

βOnly the 13 projects before the AUC seeking approval will be paused. That means there are 105 projects inaccurately listed by interest groups that are months, maybe years, away from even getting before the AUC. As the pause will be lifted in February of 2024, the nextβ¦

I genuinely hope you read more about Alberta and their plans for energy expansion. There is compelling stuff. Please do more than just parrot headlines, esp. since you teach. It's critical you teach to learn, not teach to repeat.

Fly to Alberta and when you get here, I'll take you on a tour. Show you some pretty impressive renewable projects in person. Some, I might add, you can ride a bike to (albeit a decent ride) from the Calgary Airport. We need to work together Keith.
