Locked Out: UCP Stops Wind & Solar in its Tracks

Real Talk Ryan Jespersen

Alberta's UCP government announces a six month moratorium on wind and solar projects, citing rural concerns including loss of agricultural land and impact on scenery. Is it a wise or witless move? Over the next few episodes, we'll hit the story from a bunch of different angles.

40:55 | Binnu Jeyakumar understands the power industry better than most. The director of the Pembina Institute's electricity program explains why the Alberta Advantage applies to renewables, too. She says the UCP's moratorium could mean higher household costs, fewer jobs, and billions of investment dollars lost.
