    I think another piece of the puzzle is making sure a sizeable chunk of the earnings from extraction projects are captured by the government and set aside for remediation, as well as in something akin to Norway’s Soverign Wealth fund. It’s a shame that we didn’t end up in the same boat as Norway given how long we’ve been exploiting our oil sands. Money like that could be put to use solving all sorts of environmental problems.
