Attachment Duncan First Nation comments are on the right track but emissions must be captured from the outset

  • This proposed natural gas powered data centre project is risky and short-sighted. It locks the region into decades of fossil fuel use, or condemns the Woodland Cree First Nation to hold a stranded asset. It threatens the water in the region, after years of drought. Methane emissions from natural gas production and distribution historically have been underestimated; this will increase them for the region (which poses health risks) and will increase global warming. Not only that but the region has great potential for geothermal energy, which paired with wind and solar could power a much more sustainable data centre (although power source is not the only concern by a long shot). The Duncan First Nation submission makes many good points about the risks and reasonable suggestions to mitigate those risks. My only disagreement with the Duncan First Nation submission is the suggestion that alternative energy sources need not be implemented from the outset. At a very minimum a firm plan for ...

Direct impacts from the main project footprint appear to be limited, given that it is on a partially constructed brownfield site. However, we have concerns that construction activities as well as operation of the proposed project may be disruptive to previously documented hunting and trapping activities in the area. Additionally, many ancillary infrastructure works – some of which may have direct impacts on the ...

It is one of eight Métis settlements incorporated under Alberta legislation. Over 1,100 members live on Settlement today. The name Kikino comes from a Cree name meaning “Our home.” Kikino Métis Settlement holds recognized and constitutionally protected Indigenous rights, including the right to harvest animals and plants for subsistence purposes. Métis families have been present in the area around what is now Kikino Metis Settlement since the late 1700s. Their emergence was inextricably tied to the fur trade. As explorers and fur traders pushed west, they relied upon local Indigenous people who knew the land, could speak the languages, and act as guides. By the ...

Is this cost going to be put on to the residents in the area (peace River, Grimshaw etc) that will see natural gas and hydro costs soar to pay for this data centre? Affordability is already out of control, therefore I would be restistent to this  increase in our monthly energy costs. If this is something that business wants to pursue, then they can pay for it and not put  the cost onto the consumers. Thank you

  • I am writing to provide critical technical context to my previous submission. As a resident of Fort Chipewyan, I am concerned that the Agency will underestimate the impact of this 650MW facility by ignoring the existing cumulative damage from upstream dams. Please include the following facts in the official Summary of Issues: The "Final Straw" on a Regulated River: The Peace River is already crippled by the W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams, which have flattened the spring "pulse" we need. With Site C now coming online, the river’s temperature and flow are under even more stress. A 650MW data center is not a "minor" user; it is a new, permanent drain on a river that has already lost its natural ability to flood the Delta. Consumptive Water Loss (Evaporation): Unlike a town that returns most of its water to the river, data centers of this size use "evaporative cooling." This turns Peace River water into ...

While this project is presented as an Indigenous partnership, as a resident downstream in the Peace-Athabasca Delta, I believe the environmental costs far outweigh the promised economic benefits for several reasons: Downstream Water Security & Navigation: The Peace-Athabasca Delta is in crisis. Consistent declines in water levels already affect our ability to navigate to traditional hunting and fishing grounds. Data centers require massive amounts of water for cooling. Any further extraction from the Peace River watershed threatens the spring melt and the ice jams vital for recharging the Delta’s perched basins. I am specifically concerned that this project ...

  • The Mihta Askiy Data Center Project should not proceed because it would lock the Peace River region into decades of new fossil-fuel power use, heavy resource consumption, and limited local benefits.  The proposal depends on a massive, dedicated natural gas power plant of up to 650 megawatts, meaning most of the new generation would simply feed servers rather than homes, businesses, or community-serving industries.  This runs directly against Canada’s stated climate goals, committing the area to large greenhouse gas emissions well past the period when emissions are supposed to be falling sharply. Beyond climate impacts, a facility of this size will place long-term pressure on local water and the surrounding land, adding to cumulative industrial disturbance on and near Woodland Cree First Nation territory.  Continuous operation of turbines, cooling systems, and backup equipment would introduce ongoing noise and industrial activity roughly 40 km northeast of Peace ...

  • It has become obvious, over the last three years, that so-called "generative AI" is both an extreme resource hog, both power and water-wise, and poses issues such as the mass theft of information and art, significant reduction in jobs, and is contributing directly to the joblessness of many young Canadians and the destruction of the fabric of reality as we know it. Providing for a new power plant fueled by non-renewable sources solely to fuel such a destructive form of technology is patently unacceptable. Job creation and financial benefits that'll likely flow down to relevant government stakeholders are minimal, most profits stemming from data centres going directly to fuel an unsustainable stock market bubble waiting to crash, whilst the destruction caused, whether environmental or social, will be massive. This project should be rejected, and all future "power for AI data centre" projects as well, for similar reasons.

  • There is no justification for placing a data center here. There cannot be any long term economic benefit because this industry is a fragile bubble and everybody (i.e. the general public) knows that by now. This isn't going to provide profit, and it's not going to create jobs.   All a data centre can do is destroy the land, drink up all the water and poison the humans as well as harming other animals and plantlife in the process. The mere suggestion is genuinely disgusting.   Nobody needs this, nobody wants this; not anyone who actually lives here anyway. The downstream impacts of allowing such a thirsty, greedy beast to ravage our magnificent ecosystem would devastate families and disenfranchise surrounding communities for literal generations to come.   Moving forward on a project like this is one of the most sincere forms of evil present in our world today and even just condoning or ignoring the ...

  • We can see the devastation these data centres cause in the US. Fresh water is depleted and turned toxic. Alberta is in severe drought conditions already, with water shortages common in the summer and reservoirs lower than average. Albertans water cannot be used for these AI data centres when people need these resources.   The energy used by these centres, natural gas and coal, will cause further environmental damage, creating a feedback loop further reducing precipitation and water available. In addition to this, Albertans are already struggling with cost of living increases, and these data centres have been shown to increase citizens utility costs as they foot the bill.    I don't see any benefit to allowing these companies to take our water, our air, and our money to power their AI data centres. The cost is simply too high

  • My biggest concern with this projects is massive issues we are already seeing in the USA. Datacenters are built in low-income areas, and frequently desert areas that are already strained for lack of water. The local communities are then overloaded with massive spikes in their power bills, constant noise that causes medical harm and stress in livestock, and their water sources are drained and polluted. If this is going to happen in Canada, this CANNOT happen. There needs to be strict regulation on noise, pollution and energy demands. The local community needs the biggest say, and they also deserve to get some of the profits if the datacenter is mining their local resources. But the biggest thing is that this datacenter should not be a drain on the community. It has to be strongly regulated so that it causes the least environmental harm possible.
