You decrease supply, what do you think will happen, regardless of the carbon tax?

Its kind of ridiculous that the NDP implements a plan that for one power company see's their costs increase from $15 million dollars a year to $150 million dollars a year, and they don't expect that they're not going to use a clause put into the PPA to protect companies from the government doing just that.
Just think if it hadn't been there, the utility costs to Albertan's would have still gone up significantly. In other words any which way the NDP because they had no plan except to gouge people this was going to blow up in their face.
And its great that they want to get rid of coal, but its clear that there's a massive gap in the timeline between getting rid of coal and building an alternative supply system. They basically expected the utilities to take it up the butt without complaint for several years, because its not like you can build alternative energy systems in a couple of months.
I know it sounds over the top when I call this government moronic and stupid and un qualified to govern, but I think that this whole situation is showing that this government is moronic and stupid and unqualified for government.
