Green energy


Brian Mason and Alberta's NDP believe in using the wealth created by fossil fuels to build an energy industry that sells clean, environmentally friendly power.

Liberals and Conservatives are on the side of big oil and big polluters. They accept large financial contributions from big profitable companies and they do not seriously promote green energy.

Alberta's NDP has a plan to transform our current energy gold rush into the foundation of a healthy and sustainable energy future. It's a plan that protects our economy and our planet.

The Liberals and Conservatives both accept hundreds of thousands of dollars per year from big oil companies and other polluters

When push comes to shove, they will side with their profitable corporate backers who don't want to pay more for the right to extract our oil and gas.
Furthermore, the large, profitable energy corporations who bankroll the Liberal and Conservative parties don't want to diversify away from fossil fuels.
Only Brian Mason and Alberta's NDP can be trusted to look out for the needs of our economy, and our environment.

Brian Mason and the NDP are on the side of the environment

Alberta's bountiful energy resources have created a lot of wealth for our province. However, successive governments with ties to big oil companies and other polluters made bad use of those resources. They have given away resources for a song, denying revenue to Albertans that could have built schools, hospitals, and better roads. And they have allowed the Alberta economy to be solely focused on oil and gas, ignoring the need to diversify. They have left ordinary Alberta families at the mercy of a boom and bust economy.

Brian Mason and the NDP have a plan to reduce our dependency on polluting fossil fuels. By increasing the amount energy companies pay to extract resources, the NDP has a plan to create a $20 billion fund for the creation of a green energy economy, including:

  • Kick-starting renewable energy projects. These would include solar, wind and geothermal initiatives.
  • Create the Alberta Renewable Energy Corporation (AREC). As a crown corporation AREC would develop larger scale projects, foster research and market development.
  • Give Albertans the choice to support green energy through net-metering and interest-free home retrofit loans.

Stelmach is scrambling in place

Stelmach is scrambling in place. Politically speaking, he is running up a down escalator.
