I'm looking at that, and I wonder about the figures, they're talking about replacing all vehicles in Calgary with either electrical (light medium or heavy). Lets say that we average out that cost to $30,000 per vehicle (I'm spitballing here) but Calgary has over 1 million registered vehicles.

They're talking a overall 12 billion dollar investment to make this change but replacing over 1million vehicles would cost what $30,000,000,000,000?

They're talking about converting buses to biofuels, there is a cost to being able to create that supply.

I'm not doubting that these are probably effective steps, I'm wondering how accurate their cost model is.
