However, last year, Energy Sec Chris Wright used this emergency power to order those #coal plants & one #oil plant to stay open well past their shut-down date—arguing there wasn’t enough energy being generated to power the #grid if they went dark.

Now please can we get #Norway to stop exploring/selling more #oil and #gas ? Make money some other way? Maybe rent out their abundant habitable land to #climate refugees from #Africa?

really good video from @MarkhamHislop Energi Media that picks apart how the "Free Alberta Strategy", which is Danielle Smith's playbook, is trying to break up Canada based on the false notion that Ottawa is not being "fair" to Alberta... when it was the Alberta oilsands companies themselves that lobbied for the Industrial Carbon Tax.
