All good points Mike.
The administration is pouring tens of millions into capping abandoned oil and natural gas wells which is already reducing the amount of methane in the atmosphere.
So often a fly by night oil company, which are often funded by the majors, run the oil or gas wells until they are dry and then they declare bankruptcy and walk away. There are over 120,000 documented orphan wells in the US
The infrastructure bill has funding to cap some of these wells. Another group in Montana has a foundation to cap orphan wells started with the biggest polluters. This is the foundation behind this effort.
They mention 3.5 million orphan wells so most of the wells are undocumented.
This is totally a project supported by Democrats and the WH for the most part.
Drill baby drill -- indeed.
