Let me explain the two datasets on #abpoli& #39;s crude #oilandgas industries: profits/royalties and cleanup costs.

Here is profits (& #39;normal& #39;=10% return on investment; & #39;excess& #39;=>10%)& #ableg& #39;s share of the money generated from our collective natural wealth...

Here is the same @OilGasCanada data as above, focusing on the last 30 years #abpoli #oilandgas has been in systemic crisis from weight of environmental debt #ableg & @AER_news have allowed to accumulate...
#ableg #cdnpoli #RedWater
Here is the above data re-organized from an annual flow of profits/losses to a stock of remaining profits/losses, with average cleanup costs for wells+pipelines+facilities from @ALDPCoalition re-organized by date of first production...

I suggest remaining profit minus accumulatedbliabilities/losses is a rather credible measure of #solvency.

Annual Net Worth = Remaining Profit minus Accumulated Liability/Losses
#ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli #oilandgas #RedWater #AROs
Here, it& #39;s all put together to illustrate how #ableg & @AER_news have allowed @OilGasCanada to pocket hundreds of billions in real & fictional profits while driving #abpoli #oilandgas insolvent by at least $150 billion (not including financial debt).
#cdnpoli #RedWater #AROs
Over 30 years, #abpoli #oilandgas pocketed as much as half trillion in real & imagined profits.

But industry outside oilsands has been insolvent for 15 years, has been unprofitable for a decade,&& #39;s currently insolvent by $150 billion.

That& #39;s who #cdnpoli+ #ableg are bailing out.
