Meanwhile in real energy.



Alberta First Nation eyes bright future with $1.5 billion natural gas plant project

Enoch Cree Nation and partners receive $93-million investment from provincial agency that funds major Indigenous ventures



Alberta's Enoch Cree Nation has had a long and prosperous relationship with oil and gas.



And now the next chapter in that story of economic success will be written thanks to a $93-million equity investment into the $1.5 billion Cascade natural gas power plant, a partnership between Enoch and five other partner First Nations.



The deal represents the first major investment from the Alberta Indigenous Opportunities Corporation, which launched in January.



The partnership, which is formally known as the Indigneous Communities Syndicate (ICS), is comprised of  five other Treaty Six First Nations: O'Chiese, Paul, Kehewin, Goodfish/Whitefish, and Alexis Nakota Sioux and is expected to generate "hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for these nations," Alberta Premier Jason Kenney said during the announcement.



Enoch Cree Nation Chief Billy Morin said the project will be a major boon for his community, both in the short-term and long-term.



"It's this powerplant that is going to transition energy to heat homes, it's going to transition to jobs, it's going to transition to [address] social problems," he said.



"It is through the blueprint and the template we created today that has been set on what possible for the future."



The Cascade Power project is expected to support the growth of Enoch Cree Nation, which expects its on-reserve population to double by 2035.



Wilsdon says Enoch's economic development plan also includes significant involvement in the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion construction, which is underway in its territory, as well as participating in the federal government's orphan well reclamation project that began during the spring.



"The nation is participating in this federal program and will use it as an opportunity to clean up our land and ready it for future opportunities, as it is not a large employer on our nation, but critical for future development," Wilsdon says.



"Through the reclamation program, 56 wells are being reclaimed right now on Enoch land."



Once reclaimed, that land will be used for new commercial developments to support the nation's needs, as well as the expanding northeastern communities in neighbouring Edmonton.



The Cascade Project is a 900-megawatt combined cycle gas turbine power plant that is forecasted to supply 8 per cent of Alberta's average electricity demand and is slated to be completed by the fall of 2023.

Solar uses more finite resources than fossil fuels, including land. It creates more non-recyclable waste too.

And on top of that, solar panels and wind farms have to be backed up by concentrated forms of energy like natural gas. Wind and solar is all bullshiit.

Worse than any of that, we lay-off workers extracting natural gas and transmitting it for example, and hire workers in China who produce solar panels.
