Erin Brockovich
by: Fida

Ram, as luck would have it, Jessica Ernst pretty much is the Erin Brockovich of the "pump jacks". And although the problem is far from being resolved, at least she and her group got some attention from the government and the restoration of the pumps is under way, although how long it will take, nobody knows. Hopefully it will end the poisoning of the ground, but what it will not solve is the problem of using oil instead of alternative energy.

There are ongoing protest, but by only a small fraction of the population. The most active people are a group of ranchers and The Keepers of the Athabasca. Their last protest walk was held August 14, 2010.
