Good. Why do we subsidize companies that gouge us while reporting record profits? Had they done this 20 years ago maybe the country wouldn’t be on fire.

Had the o&g companies published their 1970's findings that their continued existence meant the end of ours, maybe the whole planet wouldn't be, either.

I'll believe it when I see it

The Federal Minister making the announcement in the article specifically talks about other ways oil and gas can access other subsidies. It's just not oil & gas specific subsidies.

I hate the word "soon".
We've been saying "soon" for decades. Just rip the bandaid off & fscking do it!
Incrementalism will literally be the death of us - by wild fire or drowning.

Wait what do you mean?
Its only all the qualified experts and scientists (AKA nerds) who think that climate change will end us all.
My uncle and some oil/gas execs say otherwise 🤔

Do it for all of us.

Thank you for the archive.is link.

Environment groups want such technology excluded because they say anything that encourages continued fossil-fuel production is harmful.
Environment groups want Alberta's economy to collapse. Take the win, ffs. If companies are dumping more money into carbon capture, maybe it'll actually be useful.

Can't wait to hear all the folks here in Alberta whinging about gas prices going up cause of this. 😑🔫
Fuck, talking to my father(a man who just described the CBC as too woke earlier this week) about this is going to be rough.
Think of Team Lemmy behind you! 👍
