The info on the Alberta government is site is vague, apparently we are going to get a bunch more wind farms and maybe increase total output from wind by 5% in the next decade or so. I don't see renewable sources all that viable in Alberta currently it would be smarter (and probably cleaner) to increase use of natural gas short term, long term green tech might be mature enough to work here on a large scale.
If we are going to tax carbon fuels then we should invent in research and production of the so called green tech sector not just buy it from China.
