Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the conversation about Canada’s energy future has fundamentally changed.
Speaking at the Global Energy Show in Calgary, Smith argued that years of global geopolitical disruption, rising energy demand, and concerns over affordability have triggered a worldwide reassessment of the role oil and natural gas will play in the decades ahead.
According to Smith, the question is no longer whether Alberta’s energy industry has a future, but whether Canada can execute quickly enough to seize the opportunity before it.
