For me, it's not that the market has to be 100% electric or that renewable replace coal (which has little to do with the topic at hand)...the point is that a major source of demand for fossil fuels is upgrading away from a technology that is over 100 years old. This could, very reasonably, affect the viability of Alberta's current economic system sooner than many people are willing to admit.
