Yet oil’s economic miracle obscured its ecological costs. \u003cem\u003eFossilized\u003c\/em\u003e traces this development trajectory, assessing how the governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador offered extensive support for oil-industry development, and exploring the often downplayed environmental effects of extraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAngela Carter investigates overarching institutional trends, such as the restructuring of departments that prioritized extraction over environmental protection, and identifies regulatory inadequacies related to environmental assessment, land-use planning, and emissions controls. Her detailed analysis situates these policy dynamics within the historical and global context of late-stage petro-capitalism and deepening neoliberalization of environmental policy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFossilized\u003c\/em\u003e reveals a country out of step with the transition unfolding in response to the climate crisis. As the global community moves toward decarbonization, Canada’s petro-provinces are instead doubling down on oil – to their ecological and economic peril.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Angela V.
