Clean Up Your Mess Alberta @cuym-alberta.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Amanda's waited for YEARS for an orphan well on her land to be cleaned up. Meanwhile, she can't build on that land or use it for livestock, and she fears the safety consequences of having a largely unmonitored well on her land. And the worst part? Amanda is far from the only one. #alberta #abpoli

“A backstop that isn’t adequately funded fails to be a backstop at all. When the funds fall short, the economic, environmental, and health risks of these wells don’t disappear — they just get pushed onto Albertans.” - Susanne Calabrese TAKE ACTION NOW 👉 ecojustice.ca/take-action/...

A data center in New Jersey spilled 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into a local creek, putting the area’s entire river system at risk. Is it any wonder nearly 70 percent of Americans don’t want a data center in their community?

"The group has filed an application for judicial review in Alberta Court of King’s Bench, alleging the regulator has failed to adequately fund the system and has not followed requirements under the Oil and Gas Conservation Act when setting the annual orphan fund levy."

The oil isn’t flowing, but the wells are still there. What’s taking cleanup so long?

On more than 37 acres of central Alberta countryside dotted with ponds and wildlife, about two dozen steel pilings jut out of the ground — remnants of an orphan oil and gas site Amanda Kamps has been ...

Alberta’s current data centre policy means Alberta’s first hyper-scale centre risks adding $267-$462/year to household electricity bills. Our analysis found electricity costs are on track to rise 15%-25% every year for the next five years. #abpoli Curious to see our Perspectives? 👉 buff.ly/J6INJkw

The AER just announced its new annual 2026/27 Orphan Fund Levy to help with orphaned well clean up. Sounds great right? Wrong! Because the AER has been greatly underestimating total clean up costs for YEARS, so this levy will hardly make a dent 😠 #alberta #abnews #abpoli #cdnpoli
