New Alberta climate change plan surges ahead

The Alberta government is moving forward with its climate change action plan with two funds totalling $4 billion to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions equal to taking more than a million cars off the road each year.

The province will create a $2-billion fund to advance carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects. A second $2-billion fund will propel energy-saving public transit in Alberta.

"We're tackling both sides of the emissions challenge on behalf of Albertans and all Canadians," says Premier Ed Stelmach. "We're reducing the impact of industrial emissions with carbon capture and storage and investing in public transit to reduce the impact from our tailpipes."
