perspective on the subject is very... subjective. For example someone living in a high density city that is very close to other cities and infrastructure will see/experience scalable upgrades that more remote areas will not. For example... comparing more remote areas of Western Canada to Europe or eastern USA. "We" in western Canada simply do not have the infrastructure of electrical transmission for EV's without HUGE funding, likewise for hydrogen. Similarly Hydro seems so easy... to some in BC and eastern Canada yet not truly feasible on a grander scale to those on the prairies. So, IMO, the solution towards migrating towards "greener" and renewable s will have to allow for acknowledging areas of strength and weakness. Seems so obvious to say, yet it's rarely said in the media or in discussions.


Also... again so obvious, there very much so is a transition period from a dominant energy source to a wider distribution of energy sources. This has been taking years, and will continue to take time as well. The following link to current Alberta energy is a great reference for where our infrastructure is currently focused:
