They did, but according to their stats Scotland has 100K people 'dependent' on the sector, Alberta alone has 400K. Alberta is 4.5M pop. Scotland is 5.5M.
Alberta will unfortunately not be able to turn those Oilsands dredgers into windmills.
The windmills will probably be made and installed by totally unrelated entities.
If I were the King of Alberta I would play all my cards on some kind of carbon capture tech because it's not entirely infeasible. Maybe not for cars, but for installed engines and there will be plenty of demand for fuel if it can be used without CO2 emissions especially.
