Old Alberta wells that fail standards raise fears; critics seek tougher rules
– canadianbusiness.com
EDMONTON – New research is raising concern about tens of thousands of dormant Alberta oil wells that don’t meet even minimum safety standards.
The Alberta Energy Regulator has begun a program that it says will result in all wells meeting those minimums within five years.
But critics say those standards amount to little more than a locked gate and a few signs. They want firm timelines to force companies to clean up old well sites — some of which have been sitting unused for decades — before the liability winds up with taxpayers.
“Unless timely action is taken to ensure that oil companies deal with their liabilities while they still have the financial capability to do so, the reality will be that either the taxpayer is going to be on the hook or the landowner will be stuck with the problem,” said Keith Wilson, a lawyer who has represented hundreds of landowners against the energy industry.
Since 2007, inactive wells in Alberta must be fenced, locked, signed and tested to ensure they don’t leak…

Report: Voters in Switzerland reject plans to hoard massive amounts of gold, limit immigration
– canadianbusiness.com
BERN, Switzerland – Projections show voters in Switzerland have rejected plans to protect the country’s wealth by investing in gold and drastically limit immigration.
Swiss polling firm gfs.bern said a majority of voters opposed the measures in a referendum Sunday.
If passed, the gold investment plan would have required the Swiss central bank to hold a fifth of its reserves in gold within five years, forcing it to buy massive amounts of the valuable metal and likely causing the global gold price to jump.
Pollsters also predicted failure for a plan to end special tax privileges for rich foreigners in Switzerland.
The projections are based on tallies provided by selected voting districts and are usually close to the final result.
Official results are expected to be published later Sunday.
