Zombie Wells: the threat beneath Central California

[@dpharr100]

Oil and gas are always seeping out of the ground even if you don't have a well

[@pcatful]

Good for you.

[@RippieFarmer]

Natural seepage is a minimal fraction compared to what comes up thru an old well that wasn't properly capped, the amounts are not even comparable.

[@waynesimpson4081]

But, but...how could Big Oil not be fine, upstanding, good corporate citizens?

[@thehpw]

We are so stupid.

[@Ap_twsh]

how about drilling for more oil.

[@projectlonewolf8674]

Quick...take it to autozone

[@Dane-o7q]

I hear these environmental alarmist are now ringing that Bell ding ding ding. Ding ding ding. Ding ding ding now these are the same type of people that will squawk about global warming global warming global warming the sky is falling the sky is falling these are the type of people that put the high cost of living in the state of California .

[@RippieFarmer]

I hear a poorly educated individual that's probably gonna blame someone when the alarms stop and then claim that no one warned you of the problems you'd end up dealing with.

[@garyquail4996]

@RippieFarmer I take it you must be talking about me if you were talking about me why didn't you just come out with the word ignorant instead of being long-winded ??

[@RippieFarmer]

@garyquail4996 I was responding to your long-winded comment about others that you didn't name... figured that was the format. I used poorly educated because ignorance is a choice, while how you are educated prior to college... isn't.

[@MischaFellner]

Legacy media is seen as silly now.

[@doctorsmog]

If the abandoned well is dangerous where is your safety equipment? Don’t breath or touch it, but it’s OK to use the oil.

[@skywave12]

Let's see. Gas is already taxed very high in California. California gets more money by allowing big oil to pay them to stall. Seems to be a please send money problem. The needed solution walks away.

[@franksnyder1357]

Blame Rob Zombie.

[@flamingchillum]

It will cost 1/2 million dollars to cap-off each well. Who is going to pay for it ?????

[@pcatful]

They said $180,000. Probably won’t happen. Too bad for the people who have to live there. The rest of us can just stay away.

[@flamingchillum]

@@pcatful The KZbin show I saw looked at 7 closed and seal oil wells. ALL 7 were leaking ! That show said 1/2 million, to do it right.

[@g-dcomplex1609]

Since its in California, yeah
