I wish the same were true for forestry leases, companies keep using the malpractice of clear cutting despite the lack of economics. Of course that’s because governments subsidizes their unsustainable practices. www.policyalternatives.ca/news-researc....

“This week, the Trump administration’s long-promised revival of “clean, beautiful coal” collapsed in plain sight. A federal coal auction in Montana drew exactly one bid: just $186,000 for 167 million tons of coal.
That’s not a typo.“ 👏

Confirmed by MANY sources👇, the fossil fuel bros show that you can open up land for coal development but those lands weren’t open for a reason: there is no coal worth developing.

Trump and the oil bros are con artists. Period.

A screen shot from a search “A federal coal auction in Montana drew exactly one bid: just $186,000 for 167 million tons of coal.
“

Confirms this report is accurate, new land sales have been cancelled because they are not real opportunities.

I wish my former friends & colleagues would do the same. I think on key moments like this👇,
Rachel Notley (& me) being had by CNRL CEO Murray Edwards (2nd from the left back row). The “grand bargain” came with the promise of an emissions cap & TIER pricing both of which have been actively undermined

2015 press conference on climate and the announcement of TMX. Note: CNRL CEO Murray Edwards, 2nd from the left back row.

As soon as TMX was online the pathways alliance says no thx to the emissions cap.

The moment TIER pricing was to be meaningful, the GOA cancels it.

It’s comply or GTFO. I learned this the hard way. The fossil fuel industry is a led by a criminal cartel. I’m lucky I wasn’t high up enough for my life to be ruined. Remember Premier Prentice went down in a helicopter accident. 🤨

☝️ day, when I was a registered oil & gas lobbyist, I asked my SVP why the GOC was doing something foolish. His response, “your problem is you’re the only person who understands this stuff.”

He was blowing smoke 💯 but it made me realize the government doesn’t even try to 👀 thru industry bullshit.

Big Oil is getting what they paid for. After bankrolling Trump's election he pronounces at the UN that climate change is “the greatest con-job ever”, because their business model depends on denial.

But reality doesn’t care about their talking points.
