Alberta premier outlines her wishes for ‘just transition’ legislation in open letter to Trudeau
She wants the legislation to incentivize investment in the conventional energy sector as well as in “clean” fossil fuel technologies like carbon capture utilization and storage, bitumen beyond combustion, petrochemicals, hydrogen, as well as lithium, helium, geothermal and technology around zero-emissions vehicles and nuclear.
More requests from Smith are that the act is not designed to phase out the existing oil and gas sector and workforce and that the federal government expands exports to Asia and Europe.Lastly, she wants the government to promise that Alberta and Canada can work together to set “reasonable and meaningful emissions reductions targets” and that Canada won’t impose targets on the province’s energy, agriculture and other industrial sectors moving forward.
