There will be no more booms for energy, ever.   Alberta has had a boom/bust economy OPEC has been able to manipulate the price of oil since the early 70's.  But OPEC is now powerless and irrelevant.  A provincial sales tax and reductions in spending must be introduced and the 
Party that understands and articulates this will win our next Provincial election.  As a third generation Albertans with grandchildren, I am dismayed the carbon tax, which amounts to a 3% PST is being squandered (invested) by the Notley Government in energy subsidies and pet projects, rather than going to offset the enormous overspending that seems to now be the order of the day.
