I left O&G years ago, as it became rather obvious I was not one for the industry and the dirty politics of oil. Never will I return to selling my soul on an hourly basis. How Alberta is 10 billion in the hole and a one industry province has never felt right. Everything I do now involves oil money in one way or another and it does not go without consideration.
Relocation to BC fairly soon, my next vehicles will be electric, hybrid or a combination of the two. The house will be modest by Calgary standards with heating and cooling costs a 20th of my current place. Cycle when I can, been too green for the wasteful pro-oil types my entire adult life. You get it or you don't.
We all need to be honest about what feels right. To each their own.
Enlighten me on how your heating and cooling costs will be 1/20th of the current?
Are you including the initial cost of (assuming) solar panels or geothermal or whatever else you plan to do?
