... several years down the road.
Adhering to our climate goals would be devastating to people living in provinces where they've done little more than double down on resource extraction. Apparently that's a bad thing.
And in several years, electric or hybrid vehicles will be the majority.
I know we'll need a new car sometime in the near year, and I've already set at minimum to get a hybrid.
Gotta play to your strengths. Alberta doesn't have much else going for it other than farming.
Really hard to diversify being so far north and disconnected. There is only one US interstate connecting Alberta to the US, and it really doesn't go anywhere of value.
The solar potential seems massive.
There's a few reports about farming under solar panels, to make use of the shade and sell the power. It may be too small-scale, but the mindset of "we sell power, now, and maybe we can do more" could help.
Either way, I claim the constant maintenance and care needs a mindset that uniquely suits farmers to being solar energy vendors.
