@robsonfletcher Danielle Smith also probably has high hopes for the Alberta Hyperloop. Albertaloop? Sorry, did someone say monorail?
when lying and distorting become the primary communication mechanism of governments… Congratulations #Alberta! @Alberta_UCP @albertaNDP @liberal_party #UCP #RenewableEnergy #Pause

‘The #renewables industry, which had been doing famously well until the #UCP struck last week, expressed “complete shock” at the clean energy moratorium in the Guardian’s story. A spokesperson warned that if the #Alberta government would do that to them, it would do it to other industries as well.”

#UCP terrible decision favouring #Naturalgas that cannot compete with #Renewables! Not picking winners, and losers. Picking losers; costing #Alberta $billions! AFL president calls on Smith to rescind renewables moratorium. https://action.afl.org/press-release-stop-playing-politics-with-our-jobs-and-with-our-collective-future/

@mbarnardca hits the nail on the head. #Alberta #UCP brutally undermine #RenewableEnergyTransition because #FossilFuels, particularly #Naturalgas cannot compete. Blatant favouritism for dirty industry. @ABDanielleSmith @Alberta_UCP @liberal_party @350

"Exactly the same concerns followed #oilandgas wherever they went. That never stopped decades of development, despite the constant background worry about spills, leaks and sour gas blowouts.
The great Lodgepole well eruption of 1982 threatened #environment and #health for 68 days before it was finally capped. But there was no #moratorium."

“But they came out with this big splash. Why is that?
One reason is significant hostility to the #GreenAgenda in the #UCP base. That’s reflected by some members of the UCP’s powerful #RuralCaucus.
The government owes the rural sector for its election win. Now it’s paying, dramatically.”

“When did an Alberta conservative government ever de-boom a thriving economic sector?
Never — until Thursday, when the UCP announced a six-month moratorium on new green energy projects.”

The whole privatization of Alberta's public utilities is a cautionary tale of a right-wing political kleptocracy. Drunken liar Ralph Klein assured Albertans they'd be WAY better off with all that competition they were enabling. Of course, Albertans found out the hard way that the opposite was true and Klein's political owners are still walking away with unearned billions.
The same voters still elect the likes of Smith. #UCP voters are dumb, which can't be fixed.
