In Australia, when a tree is illegally cut down, the local government area or council will put up a giant billboard as an eyesore in its place that says “A tree has been vandalized”. That ensures that no one can benefit from removing a tree to improve their view! Sign stays until vegetation regrows.

Incredible. She consistently undermines solar and wind generation in AB and then claims that solar and wind can back up BCH's firm hydro? An expanded interconnect makes all sorts of sense in balancing energy supply and demand but AB's wind/solar will never be a "back-up". So glib.
