Seems to me, that is Alberta's problem. Maybe if they could get world price for their product, those costs could be covered.
The Alberta gov was cleaning up abandoned sites when they were getting "world price"; saw a news story about it a year or two before the crash.
And its our country, so its our problem and we are all paying.
In a news conference in Edmonton, Premier Rachel Notley called the payout “good news” and confirmed the money will be used for remediation of abandoned wells that no longer have corporate owners.
