Rationale
Carbon emissions debates and Alberta-specific energy discussions identified Alberta's grid emissions intensity as a key lever. Alberta grid renewable share is currently 15% — debates on renewable transition call for acceleration. Provincial emissions reduction complements federal climate targets. Chain: alberta_renewable_investment -> alberta_grid_emissions_intensity (-0.15, d8), grid_decarbonization -> provincial_emissions_alberta (-0.10, d12).
