Alberta Will Never Comply with Federal Clean Power Grid Plan, Premier Vows 

Alberta will never comply with a Canadian government plan to phase out carbon emissions from power generation by 2035, Premier Danielle Smith said.

The province, which relies on fossil fuels for 89% of its electricity, can achieve a net zero power grid by 2050 but the government’s timeline would be too costly and carry the risk of blackouts, Smith said at a news conference on Monday. The price tag for Alberta may run as high as C$400 billion ($297 billion), she said.
