It's not about oil being displaced in all places for all purposes...its about the transportation sector being transformed by a combination of technological advances that enable new business models.

Aside from range, there is very little that an IC car can do better than an electric one. EV's are faster, simpler, cheaper to operate...especially when they become the dominant design.

The internal combustion engine has been around for over a century...its not going away completely, but in many situations, electric engines make so much more sense.

If the author quoted in the OP is wrong...no problem Alberta is fine with its current approach. If he is right, or even partially right, Alberta needs to pivot.
