#Budget2023 🧵 /11

Every human looking for people's votes anywhere in the world should be able to articulate their plan for the #EnergyTransition. Here in Alberta that goes double. As far as the already-upon-us GLOBAL #RaceToNetZero the time has come for Albertans to not hide but to lead & prosper.

That said, with our next provincial election upon us & none of our major political parties talking #EnergyTransition whatsoever, the data says Calgarians actually get it, aren't afraid of it & think we oughta get to work LEADING ON IT.

#Budget2023 🧵 /8

The world's begun its #RaceToNetZero & with #Budget2023 so has Canada, but what of Alberta, who've thus far announced no real plan beyond the status quo? What happens to an energy jurisdiction whose prime strategy during an #EnergyTransition is to deny its existence? Bad things, that's what.

Under Trump America went dark on climate (amongst many other things) but with Biden's #ClimatePlan they stepped up the way only a superpower really can. The #RaceToNetZero accelerated accordingly. This is the lens through which #Budget2023 must be viewed.

#EuropeanUnion was making solid moves on #Renewables prior to petro-tyrant Russia's invasion of Ukraine & have doubled down since then. It's a geopolitical win-win: starve the Russian bear and ramp up the #RaceToNetZero. The times they are a-changin'

In many ways China's been leading the #NetZero fray thus far in spite of new coal mining operations & #NetZero60 promises instead of 50. Nobody's done more to bring down the cost of #Solar to where it is today & they're doing the same with #ElectricBuses

Folks that didn't like the phrase #WarOnClimate probably won't like #NetZeroArmsRace either but what an interesting place to be in these increasingly dark times: nations competing & alliances forming to save the world rather than blow it up. Count me in
