The 2015 worldwide decline in oil prices revealed the fragility of the Albertan economy in relation to the oil industry.

 

The new, progressive NDP government of Alberta is pledging $5.5 million into helping farms and municipalities install solar panels.

 

This is only the beginning. There is coming technological green energy revolution in Alberta, which will see the province transformed into a solar energy powerhouse, which will not only directly slow-down global warming, but will also create tens of thousands of jobs for Albertans.

 

What does this mean for you, the homeowner? Solar energy will be cheaper than ever to bring into your home, and you will have government rebates to take advantage of.

 

Finally, you will produce your own electricity, making your home self-sufficient and reducing your household expenses.

 

After all, self-sufficiency is one of the core values of Alberta.
