#auspol plan to allow #fracking on #SouthAustralia’s #LimestoneCoast is a broken promise.

#Labor moves to overturn #moratorium on fracking in groundwater-dependent region 2 years earlier than planned & just weeks after state election.

“Fracking is not the answer here. Elsewhere in Australia, it has led only to short-term gains accompanied by fast depletion rates on gas wells. To jeopardise the sustainable farming future of the region, for projects of this kind, is deeply regrettable.” #SApol

Alberta has made remarkable strides in reducing electricity emissions in the past decade, thanks to its phase out of coal-fired power plants, but it still has a long way to go to reach net-zero by 2050. Will the current memorandum of understanding (MOU) negotiations between the Alberta and federal governments build on that progress and keep the province on track?
