Alberta Premier Danielle Smith insisted Alberta Electric Systems Operator asked for a pause on renewables. In fact, internal emails show the AESO head was 'not comfortable' with the plan but was told to 'support the minister without reservation'
“The desire to halt the new project pipeline is a very troubling message for me, and is something we need to provide good messaging against…when we have the opportunity,” the AESO head wrote to colleagues in June 2023. Does that sound like a man who asked for the pause?
The AESO head said the renewables pause would send industry into a "tailspin," send a "closed-for-business message" and be "reputationally very challenging" for Alberta.
So. looks like the Greedy Oil Barons pulling Danielle Smiths strings have been caught in rather duplicitous behaviour... Quelle Surprise...
