Green Energy Needed for Alberta!

RePower Alberta

Sign the RePower Alberta Petition!

Many communities in Alberta are feeling the heat from a variety different resource extractive industries - coal, oil, gas, tar sands, nuclear, etc. For the most part these industries come under the guise as energy and job providers, but in reality the burden of the toxic legacy they will leave on the land, water, and community far outweighs any short-term job benefits. In Alberta, oil and gas extraction actually produces the least amount of jobs per dollar invested compared to health care, education, construction and transportation. Read more »

Are Greenpeace's stunts outrageous or essential?

The Alberta Environment Network consists of a wide variety of environmental non-governmental organizations — from large national organizations to small grassroots groups. AEN members employ a variety of tactics to achieve their environmental goals. Amongst the most controversial, are the direct action and civil disobedience tactics employed by Greenpeace in their oil sands campaign.

David Berry's piece in Alberta Views — The Disobedient Albertans — examines Greenpeace's tactics in Alberta, including the perspectives of a couple other AEN member groups.

Jun 10 2010 - 6:30pm - 9:00pm

After decades of riding the roller-coaster of the fossil fuel sector's boom and bust cycles, the time has come for Alberta to forge a new energy path. Diversifying our energy economy will not only provide tens of thousands of green jobs for Albertans, but it has the opportunity to create just solutions to our province's contributions to global climate change and the resultant environmental impacts on the air, water, and land we depend on for our standard of living.
