What can Alberta do to position itself for another century's worth of jobs, investment, and affordable living? Our "electrifying" week of Real Talk continues with NDP energy critic Nagwan Al-Guneid, a longtime oil and gas professional, and energy economist Andrew Leach.
2:30 | Ryan starts the show with a look at the devastation in Lahaina, an historic community on the island of Maui. Hurricane Dora-fuelled winds drove a wildfire through community, killing at least 36 people, displacing thousands more, and destroying much of the city that once served as the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
8:00 | Nagwan Al-Guneid, the Alberta NDP Energy & Climate Critic for Electricity, Renewables, & Utilities, makes her Real Talk debut. She responds to UCP Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz's appearance on yesterday's episode, and explains how her party would approach wind and solar development.
35:10 | Energy economist Dr. Andrew Leach explains the short- and longer-term potential impacts of the UCP's moratorium on new wind and solar projects in Alberta. What's really prompting it? What message does it send to industry? How much of this has to do with protecting natural gas? What's Premier Danielle Smith right about, and where is she wrong?
1:08:30 | Ryan reads "powerful" (we can't help ourselves) emails about electricity from Tom in Lethbridge and Amy, who successfully fought to kill the Foothills solar project near Frank Lake.
