The Feds are just handing out money for decarbonization rod the power grid right now and Alberta and Sask haven’t even sat down at the table because they are squabbling over federal jurisdiction on environmental regulation. How we aren’t campaigning the Feds to build nukes in Alberta and Sask where we lack the hydro resources is beyond me.
Quote:
Wilkinson says the federal government is also committed to supporting provinces and territories as they decarbonize their electricity grids. Through what Wilkinson and his team call "regional energy resource tables," his office has convened one-on-one forums with nine provinces and territories to strategize ways to achieve shared net-zero goals.
Noticeably absent from the tables is Alberta — the province with the most emissions. Wilkinson says he hopes this year to bring it and another holdout, Saskatchewan, to the talks. Both provinces have expressed ongoing concerns about the federal government's environmental policies which they say encroach on their constitutional jurisdiction over natural resources.
