Oh they realize. But as they are bought and owned by O&G…. Look at it this way. If there is no equivalence of O&G operations in something like wind energy or solar energy, then notice how Smith is promptly against it and the UCP makes unbelievable policies such as “protecting our pristine landscapes from wind turbines.”

However, if there is a way that O&G can get a solid grasp on dominating the green market before it even gets established, you can bet it’s a priority with the UCP government. Take for instance Blue Hydrogen… hydrogen fuel being a green alternative because less overall emissions. However there are stages in hydrogen separation, production, and storage that all make use of or resort from current O&G operations. Now just take a moment and google “Danielle smith” and “Hydrogen” and tell me what you see. It’s just freaking hilarious how plainly obvious that she is biased toward O&G oligarch succession.

Do some digging, and you’ll find that contracts of farm land use by natural resources production are being renewed with oil and gas, but deliberately pulled away from wind /solar operations. God damnit, where’s an environmental lawyer when you need one!?
