In a recent post on Policy Note, Marc Lee points out that the BC government's recent decision to close down one big GHG producer — Burrard Thermal plant in Vancouver — won't reduce total emissions, since the government is allowing new oil and gas facilities to be built that emit even more GHGs. Marc's bold proposition: an immediate moratorium on all new oil and gas development — unless accompanied by carbon capture and storage.
The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
