Two things to consider when voting in today's world:
1-Energy is the one driving force that has led to human prosperity. Fossil fuels are still the world's dominant source of energy and will be for a long time. To expect "renewables to take over anytime soon is a surefire recipe for economic disaster. Vote for the party (in Alberta there are only two legitimate contenders) that best embraces that cold hard fact. Remember there are compromises involved with any and all forms of energy sources.

2-Those who identify as being from the left side of the political spectrum are more profoundly influenced by emotions rather than cold hard facts. They are also ingrained with the belief that liberal views are morally superior to those of right- minded individuals. If you firmly believe this is the type of individuals that ought to dictate economic policies then you clearly regard economic policies as irrelevant compared to personal feelings.

As stated above there are only two legitimate choices and to abstain from voting altogether removes your moral entitlement to complain about the outcome.
