      This just sounds more performative.

      The proponent has to do an environmental assessment and Indigenous consultation prior to submitting their application to the government. How long does that, especially Indigenous consultation usually take?

      After it is submitted, the regulator can still deny. If they deny then, I assume, they have to do the whole process again.

      This is probably the first direct legislative outcome we’ve seen emerge from the Carney-Smith Alberta MOU. This builds on what was previously an [agreement-in-principle](https://edmontonjournal.com/news/politics/alberta-ottawa-major-projects-danielle-smith) that the two governments had reached early in early March. In that deal, the federal government said it will recognize and defer to the Alberta provincial government as best positioned to lead environmental assessments for projects primarily under provincial jurisdiction. In practice this legislation in conjunction with the creation of the Major Projects Office, produces a result that is in effect the closest the federal government can get to a de facto repeal of Bill C-69 (as it pertains to its effects on Alberta), without actually doing a formal repeal of the act.

      Oh so this would include the green energy projects previously approved but then canceled by the UCP when they got into power, right? ….RIGHT?!?!

      Watch as the province only approves oil and gas energy projects and not solar or wind projects.

      Even though solar and wind should be being built like crazy across the country.

      Interesting, in Ontario they just attend the premiers family members weddings.

      With “gifts” I presume.

      Can we get the same for solar projects?

      I’m assuming thats not covered under energy because cleanup is such a problem.

      > The Alberta government is looking to fast-track some energy projects it says are critical to the province’s future.

      Alberta has around 180,000 abandoned oil wells and approximately 80% of them are suitable for conversion to geothermal plants. They’re actually in a good position to rapidly increase electricity production and there *is* a growing market for it: AI data centers currently consume about as much electricity as 100,000 households and it’s expected to double by 2030.
