I assume Albertans are somehow mad about this?

Pretty much everybody is happy to see coal power shutdown. Even most people working in the coal industry are fine with it as there’s still a depressingly large market for coal.

We’re replacing it with natural gas and the oil and gas industry employs way more Albertans than coal. People in that industry are generally happy about it.

If we had replaced it with solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, anything that would make a significant impact on our still massive GHG emissions. Then about half of Albertans would be happy and about a third would be claiming “F*ck Trudeau yadda yadda”
