The continuously falling price of oil has left thousands of oil wells abandoned in Alberta, but a new proposal may have found a way to make use of those wells again. The Living Energy Project wants to use the waste heat produced from the idle facilities to allow crops to grow, even in Canada’s harsh winter conditions. The project would convert the abandoned oil wells into greenhouses, and use the geothermal heat that’s currently being wasted to grow crops. Besides producing food, the project would also provide jobs for the thousands of unemployed oilfield service workers that were laid off as a result of the drop in global crude prices.
