The Alberta government is proposing additional restrictions on wind and solar farms that conservationists think are more about limiting renewable energy than protecting the environment.

Alberta’s new restrictions on renewable energy development could prohibit billions of investments in proposed wind and solar projects, according to a new analysis from an Alberta-based think tank.

Edmonton's Capital Power Corp. and Ontario Power Generation are joining together to assess the feasibility of developing small modular nuclear reactors to help power Alberta's electricity grid.

A poll released on Thursday suggests nearly two-thirds of Albertans oppose the provincial government's moratorium on approvals for new renewable energy projects.

Not one, but two federal committees now want Suncor CEO Rich Kruger to answer for his statement that the company will focus on its oilsands operations to pad the pockets of shareholders.

"They pulled the rug out from under us," said John Rimmer, mayor of Caroline, where the United Conservative government's move has stranded a solar project that would have contributed at least 15 per cent of the community's municipal budget.

Alberta’s United Conservative Party emerged bloodied but still standing in Monday’s bitterly contested provincial election.

Alberta’s deputy premier says amendments may be needed to clear up confusion over a bill that grants Premier Danielle Smith and her cabinet unfettered power outside the legislature to rewrite laws and direct agencies to resist federal rules.

Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, one day after announcing he was stepping down for the good of his United Conservative Party, will stay on until a new leader is chosen.
