Sask United

  • Keep depending on coal and natural gas for power generation

    "Our energy policy leverages Saskatchewan’s abundant natural resources to power our province and unlock its full potential. Coal and natural gas will be used to produce affordable electricity until reserves are deplet- ed, with energy plants operating well beyond Scott Moe’s Net-Zero by 2050 agenda. Coal and natural gas will remain a cornerstone of our energy strategy, ensuring reliable and affordable energy is available to build a thriving, self-sufficient, and market-driven economy." — The Sask United Blueprint for Change, retrieved 2024-10-20
