that's one for every 100 americans. that seems like a lot. i had no idea there were so many of these things. I live in the northeast US and I've never seen one in real life.
It was like a gold rush kind of a thing years back; the product was in demand, so companies and families wanted money and created these in droves ... We can bet that "not enough" families or companies cared after they got/didn't get what they wanted.
I feel like it should be par the course that any persons or companies that want to drill for oil should have to put their toys up properly after playing with them. Seems like common sense 🤷
Is there no tech that exists that can safely extract the methane? This is done in landfills. I realize it's probably not profitable to do this. But why not find a way to put the methane to good use? I guess it's just cheaper to dump cement in to the well.
I just stepped outside, and my central texas town smells like methane, straight up. The nearby gas substation, always leaks, they tried pouring a bed of limestone rocks on top to lessen the leaking but stills smells of methane. So they did what they do so well, and GAVE UP. The giver uppers i think is the gas company name...
What about how cattle farming and over fishing contributes so much more than oil and gas but people dont talk about because these corporations are in everyone's back pockets
What about the monocroping of corn, wheat and soy? Processed food? It destroys the soil. Leave the cows to enrich the soil so it sequesters carbon when cattle rotated to different fields daily. Just like the bison herds that rained the prairies in the past.

Not potent, _abundant_ -- however, your point is moot because water vapor condenses out to a liquid -- and even become a solid in many places -- when it's subjected to typical Earth-like temperatures and pressures. Underground carbon-based greenhouse gases put in the air by people (CO2, CH4) don't condense at Earth-like temperatures and pressures: _that_ is why water vapor is a feedback rather than a forcing and is not important in global warming (though it is important in keeping the Earth sufficiently warm for life at the surface). You're welcome :) Now, go read a textbook.
@@xchopp Potent and abundant, and if some of it condenses to liquid or freezes to ice, there is still going to be plenty of it around to absorb more long wave radiation than co2 or ch4. The problem with water vapour is that no one has worked out a way of taxing it, that's probably why the IPCC, the UN, and governments around the world fail to mention it, far easier to tax fossil fuels and demonise meat eaters. Now, I must go and read my textbook on beekeeping.
If you fell so guilty why why don’t you sell all your land and fix the environment by plugging your gas wells . Then You can tell the world what a good little KAREN you are !
The real shame is that this sister feels guilty, because she couldn't do enough.. OMG...while the real criminals abscond with their profits...smh..

Ya don't say, it's almost like this has been a fact for 50 years

Exactly right we are going to have to go through the same thing with wind turbines huge waste no methane but going to be a huge problem.
I don't see why people can't just decide to try and do what's best for the environment...

Ah yes, the kettle is boiling.
So america just being america, got it.
And this was taught in school.
no duh,we have been saying this for 50 years and its been a fact for 50 years.
Why don’t you plug up the wells then? Problem solved
There's an oil-jack in my backyard, if someone wants to commit some tearing it down, please do.
It needs to be plugged up, not torn down. Butt ugly, yes (except perhaps to the engineer who designed it).
@@xchopp Walter Trout will rue the day he did this to me
@@xchopp I have a question about that. If you plug it up, would you still have to keep the pump itself up or can it be taken down at that point

should have ignited the methane
stop winning and stop using their products hypocrites
The most potent greenhouse gas is water vapour.

So are lithium batteries better quit upgrading your phone
A: Yes, lithium is recyclable.
@@xchopp B: you have know idea about what you speak of little feller.
If you feel so guilty why don’t you sell all your land and plug your wells then you can tell the world what a good little KAREN you are !
