Premier Moe says targets set by the federal government to phase out coal and convert to a net\u002Dzero electrical grid are unrealistic.
“We have tools that we can use and we’re willing to use all of them, if necessary,” Moe added.
“The feds are going too far, too fast and 2035 isn’t realistic for a jurisdiction like Saskatchewan,” Young said. He said federal policy to phase out coal-fired power plants by 2030, among others, is “at times threatening the energy security, the continental energy security that you are part of building.”
That said, change is inevitable, Moe acknowledged. He said the province is working towards “a lower emissions electrical grid and we’re doing that in this province through investments in natural gas and investment in renewables.”
