Well that's the entire quote. Full of the context...
If you really think the C-Train and the "Ride the Wind" Program is responsible for bringing windmills online, great. (but I'm the fool)
I think it's a gimmick and the windmills would be built without the C-Train.
Alberta imports about 3 times as much electricity as it exports, I'm thinking the "Ride the Wind" program is a marketing gimmick, and not really responsible for the windmills, but that's just my opinion.
