The purpose of the moratorium is to hurt people who don't work in oil & gas. That the people in question are fellow Albertans is irrelevant: to the conservative, if you work in the renewables industry you must be a liberal, thus you must be punished.
That's all there is to it.

Yup, which is also on clear display with the "just transition" resistance. She's directly hurting Albertans because of ideology. As an Albertan who would be interested in transitioning from my O&G career, it's a real kick in the pickle. But UCP supporters don't really care about anyone else, so this stuff is all a big win for their brains.
