We really could be the energy-focused 'Silicon Valley', and it's staring us right in the face.
Example: I believe the Alberta government should work with Tesla to implement charging stations across Alberta, and be a leader in investing in electric technologies that can benefit the everyday Albertan through increasingly practical means. The government doesn't have to be an evil entity that opposes change and bold ideas. In fact, if we elect the right leaders and get our long-term priorities in line, the government can be the total opposite.
