After the province announced it was lifting the moratorium on new renewable energy projects earlier this week, it brought in sweeping new changes to how any future projects could be built, including a 35 kilometre buffer zone.
Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society released a map of the province that it feels would be in line with provincial restrictions on new renewable energy projects.
“Jasper National Park, Banff National Park, Waterton National Park, all you have to do is draw a line out about 35 kilometres from there to get an idea of what the true buffer zone is going to be,” she said. “This is life insurance companies, pension funds, this is banks. This is our money that gets plowed back into these into these projects.”
Horner says the provincial fuel tax is currently used on gas powered vehicles to financially support the road networks. Alberta's budget doesn't even come close to addressing residents' health-care needs now or in the future, workers and advocates said Friday.
