yea but it seems you didnt .the main point is someone is going to have to pay for cleaning alberta at some point . should it be taxpayers ? or the companies that made the money ? thats the choice

[maryjane48]

just because a article is saying one thing it doesnt mean you cant do some critical thinking to see the real story does it ?its yhe same as christy saying ok you can dump nuclear waste in kelowna as long as you build few lakes for every million tons you dump .

Someone should...and they are, and in the millions of dollars of investment and study.....

Which means in other words, no, you didn't read it. They made huge investments into replacing environments that they may have hurt elsewhere.....you know to balance things out much like replanting trees after doing forestry.

So you hate the companies for trying to build and maintain lakes and fish......not sure why you hate the environment so much that you would rather companies just take and leave disasters.....heck even the far "righties" on this sight don't desire that type of action, shocking a social and environmental justice person as yourself would condemn helping the environment.

Of course because just because the article talked about a company making things potentially better must mean a nuclear waste dump downtown Kelowna.

that isnt good enough to ruin land then get out of fixing it by making lakes . keep in mind the companies there were bragging about how they could return the land to exactly how it was . plus use your little fingers to google who is paying to deal with all the empty wells . its called rape and run and the tax payers end up footing the costs . there is a reason why bc makes mining companies fix the land the disturbed alberta would be wise to follow the same

Oh good. Thanks for clearing that up. I forgot if you just used terms like "rape" and invalidated reality.

Your "main point" was answered in the article you posted.

Actually, the main point is that these oil companies had committed to restoring ecosystems and will now be investing millions (possibly billions in the long run I suspect) in funding this new research and technologies and collaborating with researchers. I followed the link you posted. Did you have something else that says different?

just because a article is saying one thing it doesnt mean you cant do some critical thinking to see the real story does it ?

Definitely not. But that idea should never be confused with using an ideological lens as a filter with which to skew meaning and invent things that are not there. With critical thinking it also definitely helps to have some pre-existing knowledge - like this is exactly what some of these oil companies had promised they would be doing for years, and now they are.

Played out mining operations in the tarsands are reclaimed as a matter of course, and done so at the expense of the company that mined them. This is a legal obligation on their part and is included in any permits to mine in that area.

You are out of your element Donny. Consider reading the article you posted.

I could just imagine the praise and joy the OP would be singing if Tesla built a lake like these
