Danielle Smith is wrong about renewable energy. Even worse, she’s not honest with Albertans about wind and solar.\u00a0<\/span>The best evidence for that argument comes from the non-profit that manages the Alberta power grid. <\/span><\/p>\n Two years ago, the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) <\/span>modelled<\/span><\/a> three pathways for the provincial electricity system to achieve net-zero emissions by 2035. The timelines are tight, the report concluded, but they are doable and affordable, contrary to Smith’s claims.<\/span><\/p>\n The Premier never publicly refers to AESO\u2019s report, presumably because the province\u2019s electricity system operator explains how federal clean electricity goals can be met at a reasonable cost, something she insists is technically impossible and horrendously expensive. <\/span><\/p>\n
