Since I'm married to a daughter of Vulcan I'm obliged to reskeet...
@oncleanair.bsky.social🌬️☀️ Quite the turnaround in rural Alberta:
Oil & gas once provided 55% of Vulcan County’s tax base.
Today, 55% of every dollar the county spends comes from wind + solar.
Meanwhile, fossil fuel operations owe the county $13M+ in unpaid taxes... 😒
