"In #Alberta right now it's estimated there are $216 BILLION in unfunded liabilities as a result of #OilAndGas industry development so afr. Add all that up & it costs a hell of a lot more to continue our dependency on #FossilFuels than shifting to cleaner and safer energy systems."

A Brief History of the Alberta Oil Curtailment
The Alberta oil curtailment of 2019–2020 shows us that governments have the power to order #oilandgas production cuts. All they need is the political will. #ABPoli #ABHistory #CdnPoli

Alberta Beyond Fossil Fuels | · A Brief History of the Alberta Oil Curtailment | Alberta Beyond Fossil FuelsDo you remember the great oil price crash of 2014-2016? I sure do. A 70 per cent drop in global crude prices brought the expansion of Alberta oil sands projects to a halt. I worked in the industry at the time, and the crash severely curtailed my employment options. I was unemployed for nine months

Alberta, Our Choices Matter
Fossil fuel production in Alberta isn't mandatory. It's a choice, and we have other choices. This one has serious consequences. #oilandgas #ableg #abpoli

Notice: I don't fully trust the source. Maybe later.
But the point made is valid.
Will Western countries really boycot the dig and sell economy of #Russia.
Recent devellopments on natural gas and oil don't give much hope.

"Jun 24, 2024
The reality is Russia is the largest country in the world geographically and within that territory. They have an awful lot of very important natural resources. They've got oil, they've got gas, they've got platinum, they've got diamonds, they've got uranium, they've got food, they've got fertilizer. And the United States and Europe, if they were so concerned about the war in Ukraine that they were truly willing to cut that off, they could. But it would cost them.
It would cost them because the world would be in a global recession out of not getting that oil and gas. It would cost them because a lot of the nuclear plants in the West wouldn't have uranium, and the prices would go way up. And they don't want to spend that money. And it would cost them because a lot of people in the Global South would starve, because they wouldn't have access to the food and fertilizer, except at a higher cost that they can't afford to pay. And the West isn't willing to pay that cost to take that risk and to squeeze the Russians that hard."

Landman Petroganda 
/5
Landman creates a whole new enormous audience for a dangerously bad, outright false viewpoint with a strong countering voice presenting the truth entirely & even comically absent.
It's prime, super-debunkable, openly propagandistic message is that:
global #EnergyTransition isn't really a thing and won't be for a long time besides any alternatives don't work and any alternatives are just as bad as
#OilAndGas
A big sloppy wet kiss to the oil billionaires.
