These wells need demolition

Very interesting post

[harryGShunt]

no it means they are not economically producing oil so they abandon them even though there is positive oil pressure eminating from them!

[Myaucat]

pathetic useless piece of sh!t good-for-nothing government!

If you have access to the locations of these wells,

and you cannot figure out how to superimpose those

locations with a satellite image to determine if they

are "natural seeps" or emanating from a known well,

then you most likely work for our Government.

wow, they're abandoned for a reason. like maybe because there is not enough pressure to procure any oil or gas. this is just the media trying to fabricate a story. there are no ticking time bombs. this shit pisses me off.

Another thing we could do is All Fat lazy Americans go NOW & get in your big fucking SUV or 6-wheeled Dodge Pickup and we'll all meet & protest somewhere!!Wait, let's get all morbidly Obese Americans to meet in their SUVs/Pickups right after the Football game, we'll all Git' on our knees & pray to our God!! (that loves America more than other countries) See how fucking stupid that sounds?!!!

Never rains down here in Texas where I live hardly at all. I pretty much agree w/you but Americans are fatter & dumber than we've ever been & I think we're pretty much going down.Everyone believes in one party while both suck.The 3rd so called party is insane.Food & cell phones is what it's all about. Reality shows & talking about yourself 100%. Hell,even uneducated poor people in soup lines have a cell phone. Dumb F'n country we live in.
