   Impassioned girl + rich old man = target

   Look out, Alberta . . . you're being targeted by the one of the smartest, most   
   impassioned climate protectors of tender young age AND one of the world's   
   richest philanthropists who cares deeply about our environment and the impact   
   of non-renewable    
   resources on it.   
      
   Meet Greta Thunberg - she's coming to Alberta whether the Conservatives like   
   it or not:

   UCP won’t seek meeting with Greta Thunberg during her Alberta visit   
      
   The Alberta government won’t seek out a meeting with teen climate activist   
   Greta Thunberg, but Environment Minister Jason Nixon said he hopes the Swedish   
   girl takes time to learn about the province’s oil and gas industry.   
   [---]   
      
   Thunberg has been making international headlines, meeting with leaders and   
   leading protests demanding governments take action to address climate change   
   and its resulting catastrophic weather events.   
      
   The 16-year-old Stockholm student is currently touring North America and took   
   to social media on the weekend to say she will be visiting Alberta in the   
   coming days. She didn’t say when or what she will be doing.   
      
   NDP Opposition Leader Rachel Notley urged Alberta’s United Conservatives to   
   meet with Thunberg as part of a larger commitment to embrace climate change as   
   a reality and to do something about it.   
      
   “While I obviously don’t agree with every prescription that Greta is   
   proposing, I definitely do agree that we have a (climate change) problem and   
   we need to take that problem seriously,” Notley said.

   And this is Warren Buffet - showing Albertans a different way to use resources:

   Warren Buffett-linked company to build $200M wind power farm in Alberta   
      
   A company linked to U.S. investor Warren Buffett says it will break ground on   
   a $200-million, 117.6-megawatt wind farm in southeastern Alberta next year.   
      
   In a release, Calgary-based BHE Canada, a subsidiary of Buffett's Berkshire   
   Hathaway Energy, says its Rattlesnake Ridge Wind project will be located   
   southwest of Medicine Hat and will produce enough energy to supply the   
   equivalent of 79,000 homes.   
      
   Berkshire Hathaway Energy also owns AltaLink, the regulated transmission   
   company that supplies electricity to more than 85 per cent of the Alberta   
   population.   
      
   BHE Canada says an unnamed large Canadian corporate partner has signed a   
   long-term power purchase agreement for the majority of the Rattlesnake Ridge   
   energy output.   
      
   The project is being developed by U.K.-based Renewable Energy Systems, which   
   is building two other Alberta wind projects totalling 134.6 MW this year and   
   has 750 MW of renewable energy installed or currently under construction in   
   Canada.   
      
   BHE Canada and RES are also looking for power purchase partners for the   
   proposed Forty Mile Wind Farm in southeastern Alberta. They say that with   
   generation capacity of 398.5 MW, it could end up being the largest wind power   
   project in Canada.
