The wind/solar industry in Alberta could be much bigger. Hell, renewables could be much bigger across Canada as is. I know 66% of our electricity comes from renewable resources, but why can't we work to get it higher?
Sure, you might not retrain a 52 year old oil worker, but you can get people coming out of school into this industries right now.

An anecdotal story came from a cleantech workshop I was working at in Devon. There was a former oil patch equipment salesman who had pivoted to selling solar products. For him, the pivot was surprisingly easy.
