Some states do do that, but not all. The Biden admin put $4b towards the problem, but it’s a drop in the ocean - there are 2-3m abandoned wells across the country. I just made an explainer about it this morning if you want to know more

Its mad. I just made a video on this actually, it’s really not as complicated as companies might have you believe.

Yes, it comes down to bankruptcy law allowing companies to literally take out the oil, offload the well to a shell company, then close the company. Leaving the well orphaned and the responsibility of the tax payer.

A lot of them are taking advantage of bankruptcy law. That’ll have to be looked at.
