Many Albertans are rightfully concerned about our environment. The energy industry in our province is currently emissions-intensive from the electricity we produce, to the fuel we burn, to the hydrocarbons we export.
In Alberta, we have dedicated a considerable amount of time, effort and resources on becoming the world’s second largest exporter and fourth largest producer of natural gas while simultaneously helping Canada become the seventh largest producer of oil.
“While I am fiercely proud of our energy industry and I believe we should continue the responsible development of our natural resources, Alberta has huge, untapped potential as the world transitions to a knowledge-based economy,” said Alberta Party Leader Greg Clark.
The Alberta Party understands what Saudi Arabia’s second Oil Minister (1962-1986) Sheikh Zaki Yamani meant when he said, “The Stone Age did not end for lack of stone, and the Oil Age will end long before the world runs out of oil.”
“We know the world is changing, and how we interact with our environment must change so that our children inherit a better planet than what our parents gave us,” said Red Deer South Alberta Party candidate Serge Gingras.
“We know that human induced climate change is real. The Alberta Party has strong environmental policies that will help turn this challenge into an opportunity to transition to greener energy technologies that will position our economy for a stronger future,” said Red Deer North Alberta Party candidate Krystal Kromm.
The Alberta Party envisions Albertans that are empowered to make sustainable choices to reduce the amount of waste they produce and to conserve more energy and water. One of the top 4 priorities in the environmental policy is our climate. Albertans want leaders in energy production and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions management.
The Alberta Party would gradually increase carbon prices to further encourage low-carbon innovation and greener energy while also ensuring an economically robust energy industry.
Appropriate carbon pricing will more accurately reflect the environmental cost of releasing GHG into the environment.
The Alberta Party supports shifts in our electrical generation to renewable sources such as solar and wind. We would encourage an increase in natural gas, distributed generation to feed back into the grid, and cogeneration facilities where more thermal energy would be put to use.
We need to continue to be responsible with our renewable and nonrenewable energy resources and continue to fund green initiatives to better diversify our economy and protect our environment, which will make Alberta into another world leader.
