But our current electricity generation in Alberta is 43% coal and 49% natural gas for a total of 92% fossil fuels.
All is ok as long as our cars run on a battery?
What is really needed is a shift in power production but, unlike other provinces, we don't have any water so the only alternative is uranium like Ontario.
