InsideClimate News 2014-04-16

Summary:

(CBC News)

Families forced from their homes in the Peace Country, received some welcome news today when the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) ordered an oil sands company to capture all harmful emissions.

Almost two years ago, seven families in northwest Alberta abandoned their homes after they began getting sick.

On Tuesday the AER accepted all recommendations from a public inquiry into the emissions and gave Baytex Energy four months to capture all emissions or face consequences.
