I love me some renewable energy, even if my paycheck is cosigned by the oil in this province.
I don't get why anyone would fight against it. Even if your entire livelihood depends on oil pumping from the ground and being burned, its not like any alternatives will become cheaper in our lifetimes. Even if they do, oil would still be used for a long time afterwards.
I want my energy to be cheaper that I used to power my computer and fridge and I don't want to pay so much to heat my house. I want a Mr Fusion on my car and I want to be able to recharge my cell phone by having me flip it over in the sun.
If the oil economy dies out, something will replace it. If I still need to work at that time, and can't do it in Alberta, I move somewhere else, where they got off their butts early on and committed to new technology, and didn't hide their head in the sand like an obsolete giant.
