‘Alberta’s government will protect Albertans from these unconstitutional federal net-zero regulations,” Premier Danielle Smith promised. ‘They will not be implemented in our province – period.’
“The draft federal 2035 net-zero power grid regulations are unconstitutional, irresponsible and do not align with Alberta’s emissions reduction and energy development plan that works towards a carbon-neutral power grid by 2050,” she wrote.
Smith’s comments are in response to a drafted document outlining Canada’s plan to switch from natural resources such as oil and gas to “clean” alternatives like hydroelectric, nuclear, solar and wind by 2035. In the proposal, Minister of Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson suggested denying funds to provinces which refuse to stop using natural resources.
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe also denounced the proposed plan to move to “clean electricity,” promising to place Saskatchewan people first.
