Oh, and one more point since I can't edit this... isn't this basically what a carbon tax is anyways? I'm sure if Alberta had proposed that to the feds -- that instead of collecting carbon tax revenue that it take money from oil revenues and invest it in a green energy fund -- the feds would have been fine with that. They were fine with the Ontario/Quebec/California cap'n'trade system before Ford killed it. But you know that Alberta would never accept or suggest such a thing.
