Pembina Institute

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 »

Sign the Petition urging the Alberta Government develop and implement a Green Energy Strategy!

Sierra Club Canada
26 May 2010
