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.

They need more things like this. #climatechange #loweremissions.
They forgot to mention that most of a cars interior is plastic, styrofoam cups, ink pens, some plates and hoards of other products used daily are byproducts of oil.
Why would they mention it? It's irrelevant to the problem of orphan wells.
and none of that needs to be made. we can easily make interior panels from plants if we cared to instead of stupid fructose corn syrup and ethanol fuel. only reason we havent is cuz its immediately the cheapest option. were perfectly fine without it before. god forbid you use aluminum cans, metal pens or wood.
a pencil is dirt cheap and somehow uses wood....
Hats off to that gentleman for taking on a thankless job. Maybe some of those billionaires who need tax write offs should get involved with donations to cap those wells instead of looking for loopholes in the tax system.
