Apparently the past governments of Alberta never signed contracts requiring oil and gas extractors to clean up their shit behind them. Typical. Privatize profits, socialize the cleanups.<br /><br />Speaking of which, just a few entries above this on Progressive Bloggers today is a deSmogBlog article on who's going to pay for tarsands tailing ponds cleanup. I should have thought the answer was obvious - you and me. Apparently the cost to clean up the existing mess is more than the value of almost all the dilbit ever produced. Man is a smart animal, ain't he? We let people mesmerize us into raping the land, make a big profit, and then bugger it, those extractors are off to ruin somewhere else for the promise of a few jobs to blinded pols desperate for a lift in the local polls. Sickening.<br /><br />https://www.desmog.ca/2017/06/28/no-sure-plans-funding-51-billion-cleanup-and-rehabilitation-oilsands-tailings-ponds<br /><br />BMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-47083667722040139312017-06-28T13:49:34.114-07:002017-06-28T13:49:34.114-07:00Anyong.
