Good news out of Alberta? Be still my beating heart.

Let's go back to what Alberta is good at, producing cheap oil for the US, that they will burn for their data centers.

Since we can't compete with China in manufacturing, since they subsidize and burn so much coal and have no regard for the environment.

And all from natural gas. Literally a 24/7 365 burn. The environmental community never could have predicted the regressions of the last few years. There's no hope anymore.

Oh it'll still go ahead, construction's already began. They're not going to stop now. Just need to work out the legal kinks. It's how these things go.

Alberta already has expensive power and rolling outages
