That is far from addressing the issue. They are putting 4% of liability down. That won’t even keep up with current inflation and like your article states will still take 25-30 years. Critics in the same article don’t believe their assessment is correct and that the cost will be much higher and as with every project the costs are always much higher. If market crashes where will they come up with the other 96%? This is all based on best case scenario. Also stated in the article only if no new wells are created in the mean time will this take 25-30 years. If the problem was addressed it would not be a 30 year problem.
- refurb 5y agoThe wells aren’t doing any harm sitting dormant as long as they get cleaned up eventually. The US has a ton of superfund sites it’s still making progress on. Don’t make a mountain out of a molehill.
