New federal clean fuel regulations, which take effect on Canada Day, are designed to cut pollution from vehicles. Although there won’t be much of a change to pump prices across the country on July 1, experts say, there will be a noticeable increase several years down the road. (Kyle Bakx/CBC)

    Alberta doesn’t have much else going for it other than farming.

    The solar potential seems massive.

    There’s a few reports about farming under solar panels, to make use of the shade and sell the power. It may be too small-scale, but the mindset of “we sell power, now, and maybe we can do more” could help.

    Either way, I claim the constant maintenance and care needs a mindset that uniquely suits farmers to being solar energy vendors.
