Description

Alberta and Texas have a lot in common. Both have independent western cultures, great country music, and each lead their countries in oil production.

Jeffrey Jones, a Calgary-based reporter with The Globe’s Report on Business, took road trips through both vistas to learn how and why these oil-producing regions became hubs for clean energy, and what’s behind Texas’s green surge and Alberta’s slowdown.
