Product Information
This book began when Kevin Timoney noticed a suspicious pattern in data reported by the Alberta Energy Regulator. For tens of thousands of spills, recovery volumes exactly matched the reported spill volumes. In short, the data were too good to be true. And so began a search for the scientific truth about spills. In western North America crude oil and saline water spills - both small and large - occur daily and cause permanent damage to ecosystems that remains largely hidden from public view.Hidden Scourge takes the reader on a journey into a covert world of energy industry spills with environmental incident data from over 100,000 spills in Alberta, Saskatchewan, North Dakota, Montana, and the Northwest Territories. Timoney evaluates the truthfulness of regulatory reporting in light of evidence from peer-reviewed scientific data, original field observations, industrial and government reports, interviews, and documents obtained under freedom of information. In stark contrast to a halcyon picture of prosperity and "world-class" environmental management, the reality is rampant destruction of biodiversity, persistent soil contamination, failed reclamation, and thousands of undocumented spills.Hidden Scourge grounds existential debates about climate and ecological crises in evidence of how hydrocarbon-based economies change the ecosystems where fossil fuels are extracted. The science is clear: the industry consistently damages ecosystems wherever it operates. If energy-industry regulators cannot act independently, honestly, and in the public interest, they profoundly undermine democratic institutions. The result is a legacy of contaminated sites that will burden future generations with great uncertainty and cost.

"A remarkable work by a tenacious scientist, Hidden Scourge is an important exposé of the enormous scale and dreadful effects of oil industry spills and the dysfunctional regulatory culture that enables them. Kevin Timoney reveals the environmental regulation of the oil industry as a national embarrassment." Kevin Taft, author of Oil's Deep State: How the Petroleum Industry Undermines Democracy and Stops Action on Global Warming - in Alberta, and in Ottawa and Shredding the Public Interest: Ralph Klein and 25 Years of One-Party Government, This book is bound to become a seminal work for anyone concerned with the impact of the fossil fuel industry on our land, health, and governments. Kevin Timoney reveals the environmental regulation of the oil industry as a national embarrassment. Kevin Taft, author of Oil's Deep State, "[Hidden Scourge] reads like a detective story, but it's not for the faint of heart ... a damning indictment of governments and regulators, especially in Alberta, for abandoning their duty to protect the environment and ensure industry operates in the interest of the public." Albertaviews, This book uniquely documents the critical role that regulators in both Canada and the US, charged with protecting the environment and preventing or mitigating spills, played as enablers. Regulators who could or should have known better endorsed statements of no environmental harm" and allowed perpetrators to get off if they simply said "every effort is being made to prevent such spills in the future." Apart from documenting such deceit, the author provides photographic accounts of his ecological assessments, documenting long-term changes in habitats impacted by oil. The book features many color photographs illustrating oil-impacted ecosystems as compared to similar but unimpacted ecosystems. Recommended. All readers." CHOICE, "Oil and gas spill carbon into the atmosphere when consumed, heating the planet - unless they spill on the way to the refinery, in which case they do grave damage to particular parts of the earth and the people on it. This is a remarkable investigation that should open many eyes, and perhaps many hearts." Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature and co-founder of 350.org, "This book is bound to become a seminal work for anyone concerned with the impact of the fossil fuel industry on our land, health, and governments.

CHOICE, "Kevin Timoney has produced an excoriating account of exceptional regulatory incompetence and negligence in the management of oil industry spills, which inspires shock and anger while being an almost confusingly enjoyable and enlightening read. More often than not, the first thing that companies and governments announce when a major spill is revealed is that there is no evidence of environmental damage, and that the cleanup will be complete. Read this work and you'll never believe those words again." William F.
