Now Elon Musk is calling for Alberta to separate from Canada. We don’t need the opinions of any more of Trump’s allies. We already have one as Premier.

I think you don't understand the context. In Alberta there are tens of thousands of abandoned wells that are leaking and polluting farmland. The Orphan Well Association was formed by the O&G industry to deal with the problem. The OWA hasn't collected enough money from the oil corporations to pay for

This is huge! The UN Secretary-General António Guterres has just used his final General Assembly speech to world leaders to pay tribute to our #MakePollutersPay movement. “You are on the right side of history – keep going.” This movement is powerful. We are changing politics. Get involved!

Is this because of the multi-year backlog on gas generators? They have to use diesel to get the data centers up and running.

This is a thing everywhere in the world: on-site diesel generation is advertised as "backup" generation, but data centre operators plan to use it way, way more than that. Firmus in Australia now fighting against rules to limit pollution from their fossil-fuelled project

Data centre company lodges appeal against 'unreasonable' restricted generator use
An energy-hungry data centre that received recent council approval to have diesel generators as backup power is now appealing against the "unreasonable" conditions on how they can be used.

If Donald Trump could replace Alberta's oil with Venezuelan barrels, he'd be doing it already. Heck, he's *trying* to do it. And yet, for some reason, Alberta's premier refuses to stand up to him -- or let Canada use its strongest weapon in the trade war.
