You are right. People are too stupid for democracy.
With KNOWN AND RELIABLE technologies, transitioning our economy and energy system is a 40-50 year project. We actually can’t keep lights on with the simplistic binary argument that you frame every utterance of Daniel Smith on energy policy. We get it Fuzz: Danielle Smith is malign and uninformed, on every policy position, every time. I bet she hasn’t even seen Don’t Look Up!
We need practical solutions that industry and the public can absorb and support, that move with RELIABLE technology and with an understanding of the country’s capacity to change. Not unilateral imposition of the latest, completely disconnected from reality, idea of a radicalized greenpeace activist, who had the good fortune of stumbling off the second floor balcony of the court house, to fall magically into a chair at the Trudeau cabinet table.

WTF are you talking about? Every other province (except SK) has found and implemented these elusive KNOWN and RELIABLE energy sources.
Canada Electricity Generation by source (2019)
Same thing for just Alberta - note the legend changes
This is just my back of napkin math, but Canada generates 69.5 TWh via natural gas...Alberta does 41.1 of them and the
rest of the country does 28.4.
Canada generates 44.3 TWh from coal...Alberta is 27.4 of that and the
rest of the country only 16.9
Those numbers are insane.
I'm not a huge fan of hydro as it has some substantial drawbacks, but it could also play a big role in flood resiliency.
