OTTAWA – Alberta has officially submitted a response to the Liberal government’s plans for a net-zero electricity grid by 2035, calling the plan expensive, unrealistic and unworkable and vowing to oppose it.
“It would drive up costs for everyday Albertans and Canadians and put our electricity grid at risk. It’s completely unrealistic and it is also completely disrespectful of the Canadian constitution,” she said. Alberta has launched a significant advertising campaign against the regulations warning about blackouts and price spikes because of the new rules.'The adults in the room': NDP will back Conservative motion to exempt carbon tax from all home heating
“We want to work with them to map out exactly what that looks like in an intuitive way that doesn’t risk affordability and reliability of our grid,” she said. “What we’ve done in this submission is provided the actual detailed analysis of why these proposed federal regulations will absolutely not work.”
She said if the federal government isn’t prepared to work with Alberta, the province is prepared to push back through the courts if necessary.
