ATCO blames Alberta power policies as it devalues wind and solar projects by $408M
ATCO Ltd.’s power subsidiary Canadian Utilities reported the devaluation of its roughly $1 billion in Alberta renewable energy assets in a recent financial disclosure . A skeptic when it comes to the merits of renewable power, her government has imposed a range of new limits to renewable project development, including a seven-month moratorium on new approvals in 2023. The lack of new power transmission lines from the wind- and solar-heavy southeast part of Alberta has forced the system regulators to curtail some companies’ generation. It noted a 93 per cent drop in newly installed wind, solar and storage capacity between 2022 and 2025. Weis said that recent federal-provincial discussions about increased transmission interties between Alberta and British Columbia could help reduce the persistent congestion that’s plaguing wind and solar generators.

Could the Cowboys consider offense in the 1st Round?
From the moment the Dallas Cowboys traded Micah Parsons away for a pair of first-round picks, the assumption was a “double-dip” on defense in the 2026 NFL Draft. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a mock draft with Dallas going offense at either 12 or 20; my question is, should we start to rethink that? Yes, the Cowboys’ offense is worlds ahead of its defense, and especially after failing to sign a notable linebacker or pass-rusher in free agency, they need some young, top-end help more than ever. Could Dallas Consider Offense At 12 or 20? Do not start counting chickens that these two picks will be defense no matter what: that’s just not how Dallas rolls.
