Notley looks to Ontario as she gets ready to phase out Alberta coal plants and offer subsidies for solar and wind
National Post
Perched on the edge of a turquoise-coloured Lake Erie, the Nanticoke, ON, coal plant that was once Canada's largest polluter sits idle, surrounded by rolling hills dotted with wind turbines and solar-paneled barn roofs. A few thousand miles west, Alberta's coal-fired generating stations and oil-sand operations spew a third of the country's carbon emissions, while a solar-power potential similar to northern Spain remains largely untapped.

Alberta could learn from Norway
Calgary Herald
When Norway was looking to set up its now trillion-dollar sovereign wealth fund, it looked to Alberta as the model for how it might proceed. "We were inspired by the (Heritage Savings and Trust Fund) in Alberta," says Kristin Halvorsen, Norway's former finance minister and now director of the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research Oslo.
Getting a charge from the sun
St. Albert Gazette
John Bocock is an old hand at solar power, having used it for the last 80-odd years as a farmer. But it wasn't until 2010 that he started tapping the sun for electricity by putting a row of solar panels on his roof. While he did it as a way to protest the Heartland transmission project (more local power means less need for big power lines, he reasoned), he says it's also a way for him to reduce his carbon footprint.

Canada's energy transition success story
Huffington Post Canada
When you look at Ontario's greenhouse gas reductions you can pin it to one thing: Shutting down coal-fired power plants and transitioning to renewables and lower carbon electricity generation.
