Yes but not very much

 @8Z6TF6Tfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Let’s invest in self supporting and using our natural resources as a benefit to Canadians instead of over charging them for what we have in abundance.

 @8Z3F6CNfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

happy with now

 @8VNXC8Mfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No. Renewable energy doesn't have enough power per ton to power the world. The proper way to go is nuclear power.

 @8VHL735from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Only Until they become mainstream. We are told that alternatives will ultimately take over and be economically viable.

 @8TXG224from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Leave our oil and gas industry alone..

 @8QCGYGFfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

I’m in the middle

 @8CH685Xfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

1/2 or 50/50

 @8VLPZRFfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

No more than they already subsidize fossil fuels

 @8TKJWFKConservativefrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Certain renewable energy sources should be funded but others should not.

 @8PJDPZYfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

The Government should not subsidize any industries.

 @8G6HPCZfrom Alberta  answered…5yrs5Y

Only it the if the complete environmental impact is considered

 @8VTVGN2from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

It depends on what it is. Can’t be wasting money to look clean if it’s not a viable option.

 @8VTL92Wfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

When we have enough money, yes

Kamala Harris is considering running for president again in 2028

Kamala Harris has been lying low since her defeat in the presidential race, unwinding with family and senior aides in Hawaii before heading back to the nation’s capital.But privately, the vice president has been instructing advisers and allies to keep her options open — whether for a possible 2028 presidential run, or even to run for governor in her home state of California in two years. As Harris has repeated in phone calls, “I am staying in the fight.”She is expected to explore those and other possible paths forward with family members over the winter holiday season, according to five people in the Harris inner circle, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal dynamics. Her deliberations follow an extraordinary four months in which Harris went from President Joe Biden’s running mate to the top of the ticket, reenergizing Democrats before ultimately crashing on election night.“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”“She doesn’t have to decide if she wants to run for something again in the next six months,” said one former Harris campaign aide. “The natural thing to do would be to set up some type of entity that would give her the opportunity to travel and give speeches and preserve her political relationships.”Harris concedes: 'We must accept the results of this election'SharePlay VideoMost immediately, Harris and her advisers are working to define how and when she will speak out against Donald Trump and reassert her own role in the Democratic Party. Closing out her term as vice president, she’s set to preside over certifying the November election she lost to Trump, and then appear at the once-and-future president’s inauguration on Jan. 20.“There will be a desire to hear her voice, and there won’t be a vacuum for long,” a person close to Harris said.At the same time, Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, will have a long checklist to plow through before they leave the Naval Observatory for good.They have to decide whether they’ll take up permanent residence at their home in Los Angeles, or establish a base elsewhere. No matter where Harris and her family live, some around her have expressed concerns about safety, as her Secret Service protection expires six months after stepping away.
