The Alberta government has confirmed new rules for wind and solar energy projects it says are needed to protect the environment, food security and the province’s scenery.
Among the new regulations is a prohibition on wind projects within a specified 70,000-square-kilometre “buffer zone” that surrounds the Rocky Mountains and reaches to the western half of Calgary .
Renewable energy projects also won’t be allowed on top-grade agricultural land unless developers can prove the projects can productively coexist with livestock and crops.
“Oil and gas wells use 125 times as much land as renewable energy in the province and not all of that’s on agricultural land, but a lot of it is,” Wang said. “We should be dealing with our public policy problems head-on directly, not isolating one sector that just has such a small impact.”.
