CA's biggest oil and gas company CRC is responsible for cleaning up 11,000 idle and leaking wells but has only set aside a fraction of the $1 billion needed to do so. CRC would love to dump that burden on California taxpayers. Great reporting Emma Foehringer Merchant @kvprnews.bsky.social
As a major California oil producer eyes carbon storage, thousands of idle wells await cleanup.
