For the NDP supporters, do you guys think they are genuine in their long held stance towards oil and gas? For that reason alone they are literally unelectable IMO. It’s staunch ideology vacated from reality. Like, they literally sound like total nut bars and would absolutely 100% destroy Alberta.

To your first paragraph, I think you need to study the history of Smith and PP, and you will see how much of their time and education in the Conservative world have been shaped and influenced by Preston Manning and his ilk. I think it's perfectly reasonable to worry they will govern in a similar way, given PP's boisterous attitude around things he doesn't like, like the CBC, and his cozying up to the same cadre of crazies Smith did and does. Frankly, I'd have ot say you are being willfully blind to not at least seriously consider that PP isn't all that much different than Smith and how she governs.
As to your second point, ya, I would worry about that, but I'd still consider voting for them because I don't see them being in majority power to take action in that direction, and clearly in a minority position they don't have that pull, either.
