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.

Ye, that's obviously an issue. I had just run the numbers because I was curious if it was within the realm of possibility as a percentage increase. Clearly we need to replace coal as a first step, but that still leaves us a long way to go to be "green", which is why I'm not convinced we need to all rush out and buy EV's in Alberta. In Quebec? Hell ya, have at 'er. They have the hydro to do it green. Not so much here. Which is going to have the country turning on us even more in the future.
