Meet The Retired Oil Exec Plugging Forgotten Wells To Reduce Emissions | World Wide Waste.
Nine million Americans live near an orphan oil and gas well. These wells have no owner and they were never sealed, so they're leaking out tons of methane and deadly gases unchecked. Some are 150 years old, and were lost with time. So finding and plugging them with cement can be so costly, most states don't have the funds to do it. But with $4.7 billion in funds to address this problem passed with the Infrastructure Bill, there's renewed hope. We follow one ex-oil executive and his team as he hunts down and plugs forgotten oil wells.

The USA has very low standards on exploration even at modern wells.

I knew the fact, but I did not take that as real deal til I see the states & numbers, indicating the of North American has been the natural resource wanderland.
And together we've planted over 150,000 trees. One tree is planted for every climate review written to an organization that is Open for Climate Dialogue™.
How does this work?
