'The writing is on the wall,' as oil group welcomes renewable energy firms

Oil industry group opens doors to renewable energy companies After more than 35 years of lobbying for the best interests of the oil and gas industry, the Petroleum Services Association of Canada is opening its doors to wind, solar and other renewable energy companies. Call it a sign of the times. "The writing is on the wall," PSAC's president Mark Salkeld said to CBC News. "Whether or not you believe in the climate change argument — doesn't matter. The fact is, renewables, alternatives, other energy resources are coming." Salkeld acknowledges that several of the companies he represents already cater to the renewable energy industry or use technology, like solar, as part of their operations. See http://ift.tt/2fjceBf
