There's a reason that certain provinces call electricity "hydro." And also the same reason I think for a lot of misunderstanding, for lack of better word, from other provinces when criticizing Alberta.
It's easy to say "go green, reduce your reliance on coal and natural gas" when you can produce 95% of your electricity by hydro. But in Alberta most citizens would rather not freeze to death because we don't have that hydro capacity and can't rely on wind and solar in winter.
