Tweets by Roger Gagne, in the Petro-State of Alberta. Founder of Climate Plan Alberta. My old hobby was advocating for a price on pollution via carbon tax. Because of both climate crisis and the accelerating energy transition, we've got to get off fossils.

I just made a donation to @thenarwhal.ca and became a member, because they do terrific investigative journalism. Mainstream media used to be local and less beholden to billiionaires, so they often had more accurate and useful reporting. Now, however, we need to turn to bold independents like Narwhal

But when it comes to polluting watersheds or digging up half of a 10,000 year old wetland complex it's all good. The bird concerns suddenly vanished." Rob Miller, climate in YYC
