The Government of Alberta announced its Climate Leadership Plan on November 22, 2015. For Alberta it is a sweeping plan. Its highlights include a phase-out of coal fired electricity by 2030 coupled with a transition to 30 percent renewable electricity generation, an overall cap – increased from today’s levels to 100 million tonnes for the oil sands, an economy-wide price on carbon, and a strategy to reduce methane emissions by 45 percent by 2025.
