A new economic superpower could spark a global retreat from fossil fuels | Mark Hertsgaard and Kyle Pope Eighty-five countries have sought a roadmap to phasing out fossil fuels. A conference this month offers hope they could unite

"If a huge chunk of the global economy announces that it intends to leave fossil fuels behind...investors and government planners everywhere would have to question whether sinking new money into oil exploration, coal mining, or gas terminals makes financial sense"

Pretty sure that if the Alberta government were *actually* concerned about shielding kids from graphic images, they'd go after the internet, not libraries. Bill 28 isn't about protecting children, it's about distracting us from the government's abysmal performance.

I'm with Paula. So grateful to have such a thoughtful senator and Albertan. . .

Luddites "weren’t afraid of machines. They were afraid of what the Industrial Revolution would do to their communities.... Before our own post-industrial AI revolution overwhelms us, let’s decide which human values we’re willing to sacrifice—and which we’re not."

Alberta and Ottawa’s agreement-in-principle offers a new path forward on methane regulation | Pembina Institute CALGARY — AMANDA BRYANT, manager of the Pembina Institute’s oil and gas program, made the following statement in response to an agreement-in-principle between the federal and Alberta governments on…

Today’s agreement-in-principle Alberta is an important step forward.

After months of regulatory gridlock, this agreement will deliver certainty for companies, which will unlock investment and mean emissions begin to be reduced.

No CO₂ Pipelines Alberta is fighting back against this development, and will be holding a series of town halls across rural and urban Alberta over the coming months to lead community resistance. Find out more at noco2pipelines.ca/

This project includes a CO₂ pipeline run through regular Albertans’ backyards, with massive safety and economic risks. CCUS projects by the o&g industry are a classic greenwashing tactic, and a leaking or ruptured CO₂ pipeline can harm people and animals within a 20 km “hazard zone.”

The newly-renamed Oil Sands Alliance is planning to construct a massive, taxpayer-funded, multi-billion dollar Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) project across northeast Alberta as part of the Alberta-Canada Memorandum of Understanding.

“I have one question for the prime minister,” said farmer Penny Fox, a resident of St. Paul County and another founder of the coalition. “If you wouldn’t live next to this pipeline, why should we?”

The Alberta government's Mature Asset Strategy is a blueprint for shifting the burden of cleaning up oil wells and pipelines from corporations to taxpayers like you and me.

Read this.👇🏻The industry has been underestimating emissions by nearly 2x.

The federal government CANNOT download emission reduction data or efforts to the provinces. Full stop! 🛑

Direct measurements are the only way forward. The industry/provinces CANNOT be trusted, PM @mark-carney.bsky.social

Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

Clever. These are popping up all across the USA.

"Laws that aren't enforced are meaningless." Mark Dorin succinctly explains the severe problems with oil and gas wells on Albertans' lands. #ableg #abpoli

Alberta oilmen used to refuse oil-sands folks entry to the Calgary Petroleum Club. How silly, we say in hindsight--while the AB Gov't refuses wind-energy producers equal status today. O&G is not sacred. The debt-crippled AB gov't should stop its ridiculous campaign against wind energy.

I had no idea the Parachute Club was Canadian!

Ordinary Albertans pay their rent and pay their taxes. Shouldn't oil companies have to do the same? #abpoli #ableg

Fellow Albertans: WATCH THIS! We can have thousands of good jobs here in the province if we make polluters pay to clean up their messes. Regular Albertans pay their taxes, pay their rents, and don't pollute: why shouldn't oil and gas companies do the same? #ableg #abpol

It’s time for a reclamation boom YouTube video by Avi Lewis

Workers can’t transition to a promise or an idea — the jobs need to be waiting. Fortunately, across Alberta, tens of thousands of jobs *are* waiting if only we force oil and gas companies to clean up the mess they’ve made.

It's time for a reclamation boom.
