Alberta imposes recycling tax on solar panels to protect fossil fuel industry

Commenters highlight double standard on cleanup costs between renewables and oil/gas

Online discussion emphasizes the asymmetry: while solar faces upfront recycling fees, Alberta has thousands of abandoned oil wells with cleanup costs borne by taxpayers rather than companies, creating a stark contrast in environmental accountability.

“Alberta has several thousand, I'll say that again, SEVERAL THOUSAND, abandoned oil wells that the taxpayers are stuck with the cost to clean them up.”
