              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:       ____________________              The Canadian Press October 15, 2019              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:                     The Canadian Press · Posted: Oct 15, 2019              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.       ___________________________________________              Pull your boots out of the sticky stuff you call oil and make your way to       hear these two universal fireballs show you how to make money in a more       ethical industry.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
