"It's supposed to be policed by the #AlbertaEnergyRegulator but they're now the very epitome of #CapturedByIndustry. As for the Alberta government, they've tried for years to shift cleanup costs away from the companies that made the mess onto the landowners & every single Albertan via your tax dollars."

Alberta’s Orphan Well Levy Is Unlawful, Insufficient, Coalition Contends
More than a dozen organizations are backing a landowner’s formal challenge to the Alberta Energy Regulator, saying the agency “failed to follow the law” when it set this year’s funding requirement for cleaning up abandoned oil and gas wells.
From #OrphanOilWells to #ToxicTailingsLeaks, #AlbertaEnergyRegulator is under much needed scrutiny these days. The phrase #CapturedByIndustry is gaining steam. How do we ensure the exact same thing doesn't happen with #LithiumMining? Or ANY of the #ClimateSmart solutions?
We'll ask Canadian tech writer @parismarx these questions and more on the next #ClimateOfChange, I hope you'll join us.

ACOC 5.2 Paris Marx
The Climate Emergency is the biggest challenge humans have collectively ever faced. Will technology save the day? Can Silicon Valley lead us to safety and property? Are electric cars just another subsidy for the automotive industry? What are climate activists to make of Elon Musk these days and tech billionaires in general? Join us on April 26th for our latest 'A Climate Of Change' when we sit down with Canadian tech writer Paris Marx, author of "Road to Nowhere: What Silicon Valley Gets Wrong about the Future of Transportation."
