RePower Alberta - Time to Build the Green Economy

RePower Alberta is calling on the Alberta Government to implement a Green Energy Strategy. After decades of riding the roller-coaster of the fossil fuel sectors' boom and bust cycles, the time has come for Alberta to forge a new energy path.

Diversifying our energy economy will provide tens of thousands of new clean and green jobs for Albertans, and has the opportunity to create just solutions to our province's contribution to the climate crisis. The government of Alberta, however, continues to drag its heels on introducing policies, strategies or legislation that would set Alberta on a proactive course of stregthening the province's position with one of the fastest growing sectors in the world.
