Orphan wells in Alberta, Canada
Okay kiddo, let's talk about something called orphan wells in Alberta, Canada.
So first off, we need to know what a well is. Imagine a straw that goes into the ground to get out oil or gas. That straw is called a well.
Now sometimes, the company that owns the well stops using it or goes out of business, but the well is still there. That's when it becomes an orphan well. No one is taking care of it anymore and it can be dangerous for the environment and even our health.
So the government in Alberta has made a plan to help take care of these orphan wells. They will use some money to find out where the orphan wells are and they will hire people to safely close the wells and clean up the area around them.
This is important because we want to make sure our land and water are safe and clean. Plus, we want to make sure that there aren't any accidents or dangerous things happening because of these orphan wells.
