For months tainted tailings water from Kearl oil sands has been seeping into the environment. Last month a drainage pond overflowed, spilling 5.3m litres of industrial wastewater. A First Nation downstream says it was kept in the dark #ableg #oott #cdnpoli theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
The Alberta Energy Regulator has slapped Imperial Oil with non-compliance and environmental protection orders, and feds are looking into it. Imperial says it regrets the tailings seepage and spill and is working on fixing it #ableg #cdnpoli #oott theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Athabasca Chipewyan is considering legal action against Imperial and AER including treaty rights violation. Chief & council warned community not to consume game, fish, plants harvested from the area since May, lest it be contaminated #ableg #cdnpoli #oott theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…

Oil sands companies in the Pathways Alliance have awarded a $10m contract to Wood, a global engineering company, to develop detailed plans for a 400km CO2 pipeline that will eventually link >20 oil sands facilities with a storage hub near Cold Lake #cdnecon #oott #ableg
Wood’s work will focus on the main transportation line linking 14 oil sands facilities to the storage hub (think pipe size, materials, monitoring station design, route). It’ll also help inform overall capital and operations cost estimates #cdnecon #oott #ableg
The oil sands work will support a regulatory application later in the year. Pathways expects $16.5b to spent on the carbon capture network (including $ from governments). It reckons the project will ⬇️ net carbon emissions by 10-12m tonnes/year by 2030 #cdnecon #cdnpoli #ableg

Huh. Thomas Dang has stepped down from NDP caucus. RCMP searched his home lately #ableg
Notley is talking now. Something about the covid19 records page. She says Dang visited the page and notified AHS about his concerns regarding privacy on that website. She says they have a longstanding policy that caucus members under police investigation can't be in caucus #ableg
Notley says she can't say a lot right now. #ableg

I spoke to groups who got notices from the anti-oil Alberta Inquiry into foreign funding. If they do reply, commissioner Steve Allan reckons 14 days is enough time to consider 1,200 pages of responses he could get b4 the report's due /1 #ableg #cdnpoli theglobeandmail.com/business/artic…
Also, remember how Kenney repeatedly referenced the Pembina Institute when he promised this inquiry during the election? Pembina got less $$ from international grants than from O&G companies that contracted the think tank to help find environmental solutions. /2 #ableg #cdnpoli
The same is true for Greenpeace. It got $2.9m in foreign donations from 2007-2018 for oil sands campaigns, but $5.6m from Albertans over the same period. /3 #ableg #cdnpoli

Alberta gets another credit downgrade. S&P has lowered from A+ to A, citing large deficits averaging more than 25% of revenues during fiscal 2020-24. Says pandemic has "further worsened AB's budgetary
balances" which had not yet recovered from oil price slump /1 #ableg #cdnpoli
S&P says Alberta's downgrade is "the culmination of the two powerful economic shocks that Alberta has endured in the past six years," adds the province entered the pandemic with "relative fiscal weakness" b/c of the prolonged oil slump that started in 2014 /2 #ableg #cdnpoli
S&P adds Alberta's budgetary results deteriorated & its tax-supported debt burden "rose to a greater extent" than all other Canadian provinces." Consequently, AB's operating and after-capital deficits are the largest of any local/regional gvt in Canada /3 #ableg #cdnpoli

Investment in new oil & gas developments must stop immediately if the world is to hit net-zero by 2050, the International Energy Agency says in a huge new report today. This will of course have significant implications for Canada. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #ableg #cdnpoli #cdnecon
The IEA says hitting net-zero will mean pivoting the global economy from one powered by fossil fuels to one powered predominantly by renewable energy - and that will require "a total transformation of the energy systems that underpin” global economies. #cdnpoli #ableg #cdnecon
The narrative is often we'll have oil and gas for decades. The IEA disagrees, and says fossil fuels must fall from 4/5 of total energy supply today to just over 1/5 by 2050. I'll be interested to see government reaction to this. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #ableg #cdnpoli #cdnecon

On a call now with Energy Minister Sonya Savage. The province is halting the exploration for coal for all Category 2 lands, as the committee consults on new coal policy. #ableg
The ban on this will be from now until - at a minimum - after all consultations are complete, Savage says. They want to public engagement process to be engaged "in good faith," she says. More than 25,000 Albertans filled out that coal survey in just three weeks. #ableg
Albertans did not shy away from this survey, Savage says. She says nobody will be restricted from sharing their thoughts during the coal engagement, including on water and environment #ableg
