Are you kidding.  Vancouver's mayor vows to be fossil free in only 12 short years.  He forsees a city totally powered by electrical cars powered only by renewable energy.  Now how's this going to happen if all fossil, nuclear and hydro electrical generation is considered verboten?  If you're naive enough to think that wind, solar and geothermal will fill the void, ask yourself:  are the 100s of thousands of bird killing windmills and sun blocking solar panels really going to suffice (note despite hurculean efforts Germany has failed in this regard).  If you think geothermal is the answer try to imagine the impact on the evironment with about a million heat wells needed to be drilled into the landscape.  With an increasing population and ever more electrified lifestyle the demand for electricity can only grow and if B.C. and Canada don't produce their own we'll be left to buy it with borrowed funds - sound familiar?
