The government is trying to meet the needs of its population and also trying to stay profitable. Tell me, what other major economy is acting entirely altruistically on this issue at the moment?
I'm a pragmatist. I know that it's not going to happen overnight, nor is it going to be pretty along the way, but anyone trying to consciously make that shift is okay with me.
Last I checked, Albertans wanted a big oil pipeline to stimulate their economy. What's the plan to move to renewables there?

You can call it altruistic in the same way I could call it grandstanding. This isnt the place to debate the merits of solar panels (which there are almost none), but China is a pretty gross place to live.
What's bad about a pipeline? Supplying natural gas to China to reduce their obscene number of coal generation plants is a bad thing to you?
