Alberta's climate change strategy targets carbon, coal, emissions - Edmonton. Alberta's climate change strategy includes a tax on carbon, a cap on oilsands emissions, a phasing out of coal-fired electricity and an emphasis on wind power.
"Our goal is to become one of the world's most progressive and forward-looking energy producers," said Premier Rachel Notley. "We are turning the page on the mistaken policies of the past, policies that have failed to provide the leadership our province needed. " But the strategy will not be cheap and will be paid for not only by industry, but by ordinary Albertans. The province estimates the carbon tax will amount to roughly $470 in increased heating, electricity and transportation costs for an average household in 2018, assuming that household consumes the same amount of fossil fuels as it did in 2015. There will be, however, consumer rebates to offset some of those increases. The province sees the emissions cap as motivation for the oilsands sector to innovate and become more globally competitive.
