About this episode
It’s been a busy month in Alberta energy politics. In early August, the provincial government caught many by surprise with a six-month pause on any new solar and wind projects that would produce more than one megawatt of power.
Since then, Premier Danielle Smith has doubled down on her vow not to go along with the federal government’s plan to get to a net zero power grid by 2035.
Meanwhile, Canada is experiencing its worst wildfire season on record.
Today, CBC’s Jason Markusoff discusses these recent developments and the politics at play.
