The problem is that there is no existing truly green technology as it stands. Wind and solar causes so much pollution in its construction that it's not much better than natural gas as it stands. Especially once you consider that they need to be replaced every 10 years.

On the other hand, I do agree that we should push on energy development for export. The Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Albertan governments have teamed up to develop SMRs, and hopefully we'll have a working model in the near future, ripe for mass production and export. It's not 100% green, but far cleaner than any other technology we can expect to have within the next decade.
