Come on, this is Texas we don't want to put undo burden business. If families catch a little cancer or die that's just cost of doing business. Go Business.
I don't understand why they didn't see to that years ago to clean up and foot the bill 😢 Poor Mother Earth. The Corporation's should take care of it. 😮
How are you going to bill an entity that doesn't exist anymore? Remember, in the US companies are considered people and once the company goes out of business they are classified as dead. You can't charge a dead person a debt. At this point, the state needs to clean it up on taxpayer's money.
It is why shell companies get set up. A "company" that may have only one project. After it becomes unprofitable, abandon and fold up shop. Company gone, no liability to a bigger player.
That includes every single company. Look, you either want corporations to be held liable or you don't. And the only mechanism to do that is with government. We've tried explaining that to Republican voters for decades, but they never listen.
Which will cost more fixing them, or waiting for the inevitable disaster. Pay now, or more later. My grandma always said prevention is better than the cure. Some one is about to find out the hard way.
Instead of oil industry tax breaks, money should go into a clean up fund. What is going to happen is EPA clean up adding to the federal debt. States need to step up.
@@Me97202 The State of Texas collects far more money from the Oil Companies then they do the Tax Payers, you take it from the oil revenue, the State of Texas Cut from Oil Money far exceeds these cleanup costs
Leave it to people like that to destroy our countries land & waters. All the money thats being accumulated & their attitude is to let someone else worry abt the problem. Thanks for putting this out there.
I would like to see the government go after these energy companies, even post mortem, track down the money and pull the money back to fund the clean up. Energy companies shouldn't be allowed to dissolve for any reason without executives being forced to fund the cleanup.
All I hear is talking & talking dosen't fi abandon oil wells let make the owner of all the abandon wells ACCOUNTABLE !! Stop talking & let see the owners pay to plug all their wells .NOW !!!
The corporations and their executives are long gone. Hidden behind piles of corporate mergers and paperwork. It’s how they avoid responsibility and accountability.
who says we cant afford to fix? where are u getting that? tx is spending billions on new highways it doesnt even need as much as mass transit. and the us is throwing billions at defense for unnecessary wars. we can afford it.
It's plain to see these wells can't be left to the elements so I'd expect more problems as time passes with all of them. What happens when a large hurricane...earthquakes or other disasters hits a area. Need to find a way to protect them from eroding more and more year after year.
They didn’t go a few miles off shore. I am from anahuac and those rigs are in jacks pockets which is right next to ft anahuac park the birth place of the Texas revolution. Maybe 2000ft offshore. My whole family still lives there right on the bay and as kids we would swim in the bay and it’s got an oil sludge over the sand mix with old asbestos shingles from hurricane back in the day. My grandpa brother and I spent years during the winter when the water is out to pull all the old tires out of the water. That’s also a hugely popular fishing spot literally at the mouth of the trinity river.
@@BukBuk187yeah it sits below the water there on the sand. You don’t know it till your in the water. After the first time we never swam in there again.
@@gwesman damn, that's pretty terrifying. I grew up swimming in lake Livingston, I know it's not close but still, nowadays I won't even think about getting in the water unless it's chlorinated pool water lol
I've fished at these wells they are showing. Great fishing but they are definitely a problem. There is also a lot of pipelines below that have turned into artificial reefs. Thats why we fish there.
Listen to that how do we keep USA paid and to save when human \\ individuals have needs and wants it okay it fine to have wants and needs but you can’t do all

@@TH-camUserCMXVIICDI Yes, you are right. Texas, New Mexico Louisiana and Oklahoma will be reducing supply by 50% over the next five years.
And people are wondering why it was 120F the other day
It should be on the company that drilled the well. They should plug it or pay the state to.
“Mostly by energy companies that just dissolved.”

Heath bills can’t be erased but these companies can walk away from their debts & responsibilities. Welcome to US capitalism.
Keep voting republican and this will get worse..... who needs regulations. ABOLISH THE EPA!!!
It’s not orphaned it’s abandoned, by cheap shady companies who either can’t or don’t want to clean up after themselves.
Orphaned is part of the status quo of language and theories used by these people to take advantage.
I agree, all by design....

@@derwolfpack3599republicans are owned by big oil
Oil companies should be responsible to dismantle these!
Glad I got the heck out of there
You lived in Trinity bay?
Goes to show how much they cared about the environment down there
Texas should hire some of that cheap labor theyve been exporting to other states!
Genius 🎯👍

No law enforcement to make oil companies clean this up. I wonder if someone got paid off?
Suggestion…request $10 million from ALL the wealthy Texans. Problem solved.
That would be a LOT of money 😂
It’s estimated to be around $350 billion to plug them all.
The state is responsible for cleaning up this mess because it was the state that granted licenses to these fly by night operators in the first place
The state = the taxpayers

Lol, Texas' government taking responsibility for anything? As if Gov Hot Wheels would stand for that.
@@isocarboxazid And that's the difference between how Norway does it and how Texas does it, in Norway everyone benefits, in Texas no one benefits

That sounds a lot like funding the IRS to go after wealthy people who haven't paid their taxes.
Good luck convincing a Republican to do that for you.

This is a little known time bomb ticking away.

Hope you're not eating the fish you catch out there.

Looks like a good opportunity to go plug these wells. Where do I apply?
They have the money. I smell BS
