Smith said the federal government\u0027s goal of having a net\u002Dzero electricity grid by 2035 isn\u0027t realistic for Alberta without a massive hit to the economy
Both Canada and Alberta are aiming to be net-zero by 2050, but the federal government has set multiple earlier targets along the way.“We will be able to sit down and really look at what our experts are saying, figure out the common ground and figure out the path forward,” Trudeau said.
“Alberta has sovereign and exclusive constitutional jurisdiction to regulate our energy and electricity industries,” the readout said. “This is non-negotiable.” Trudeau did not commit to doing so, but said he realizes how much of an effect it has had on producers across the Prairies.“We will keep putting a lot of pressure on all parties to find that solution that I know is out there, but I also know that pressure is mounting, day by day, and people are really, really worried about how things could look next week and we are as well.”
