That is why we need impose carbon tax to those polluters

Lac-Mégantic rail disaster​

[chatbot]

the Lac-Mégantic train disaster in 2013 had a significant impact on discussions around energy transportation in Canada, including the Quebec government's stance on the proposed West-East pipeline (Energy East).

How the Disaster Affected the Pipeline Debate:​

1. Increased Public and Political Concern About Oil Transport
   
   • The derailment and explosion of an oil-carrying train in Lac-Mégantic, which killed 47 people, made the risks of transporting crude oil by rail a major public concern.
   • This led to greater scrutiny of alternatives, including pipelines, which were argued to be safer than rail transport for crude oil.
2. Quebec’s Environmental and Public Opinion Shift
   
   • While the disaster highlighted the dangers of rail transport, it did not automatically translate into support for pipelines.
   • In fact, the tragedy reinforced broader environmental and safety concerns, leading many in Quebec to oppose both rail and pipeline expansion.
3. Quebec’s Conditions for Energy East
   
   • Quebec initially expressed skepticism about TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline, a project that would have transported crude oil from Alberta to refineries in Quebec and New Brunswick.
   • In response to public concerns, the Quebec government imposed conditions (e.g., environmental assessments, local benefits, and Indigenous consultations) before approving any pipeline.
4. Energy East Cancellation (2017)
   
   • The Energy East project faced increasing opposition in Quebec, particularly over water protection and greenhouse gas emissions.
   • While the Lac-Mégantic disaster was not the sole reason for the pipeline’s demise, it contributed to the heightened scrutiny of oil transport projects.
   • TransCanada canceled the project in 2017, citing regulatory challenges and shifting market conditions.

Conclusion:​

The Lac-Mégantic disaster influenced but did not determine Quebec’s stance on Energy East. It fueled broader concerns about fossil fuel transportation safety, making it harder for pipeline projects to gain public and political approval in Quebec. Ultimately, environmental and regulatory factors played a larger role in the pipeline’s cancellation.

阿尔伯塔省的油砂项目对环境造成了显著影响，主要体现在以下几个方面：

1. 空气污染：研究显示，阿尔伯塔省油砂开采过程中排放了大量未经监测的碳基污染气体，其释放量甚至超过了洛杉矶等大城市的排放总和。这些气体可在空气中形成微粒污染，并与其他化学物质反应生成地面臭氧，严重影响空气质量。

2. 温室气体排放：油砂开采过程需要大量能源，导致每桶油砂比传统石油产生更多的温室气体。2021年，阿尔伯塔省北部油砂井场和矿山的温室气体排放量激增至8100万吨，比2019年增加了200万吨，预计未来几年将稳定在近9000万吨。

3. 森林破坏：自2000年以来，油砂行业已砍伐或退化了约77万公顷的森林。这种大规模的森林破坏对当地生态系统造成了严重影响。

4. 尾矿池污染：油砂开采过程中产生的尾矿池废水含有大量有毒物质，如环烷酸和重金属。这些物质可能污染地下水源，威胁候鸟生命，并对人类健康构成风险。
   
   
   

总体而言，阿尔伯塔省的油砂项目对环境的影响是多方面且严重的，涵盖空气质量、温室气体排放、森林生态系统和水资源污染等领域。

Orphan wells in Alberta, Canada - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"As of March 2023, oil and gas companies owe rural municipalities $268 million in unpaid taxes;[17] they owe landowners "tens of millions in unpaid lease payments".[18] Original owners of what are now orphan wells "failed to fulfill their responsibility for costly end-of-life decommissioning and restoration work"; some sold these wells "strategically to insolvent operators".[18] Landowners suffer both "environmental and economic consequences" of having these wells on their property.[18] OWA funding is underfunded by at least several hundred million.[18] The total estimate for cleaning up all existing sites is as much as $260 billion. Remediation is paid for through federal and provincial bailouts"

是啊。阿省bc的森林大火就是他们干的。那污染，那碳排。几十年环保减排都白干了好像。

这帮黑心的。

都瞎踩蛋，每个国家都应该有污染惩罚条款。很多污染跟他妈碳税没一点关系。

既然确认是污染为什么不罚款，而去用纳税人的钱去清理，都是他妈的政府不作为。

这个和烂土豆税有啥关系？ 烂土豆啥时候用烂土豆税去擦了油田的屁股？ 恰恰证明碳税收了也是瞎浪费了，没干实事，交税等于放屁。

AB挺好，自己擦屁股。
