The new Bureau of Land Management regulation, which applies to nearly 90,000 wells on federal public land, is hampered by math errors and overly optimistic cost projections.

This is fucking mind-boggling. START HOLDING CORPORATIONS RESPONSIBLE! Jesus Fucking Christ on a short-stack, this isn’t fucking rocket science.
I’ve heard if you drop a board member down each well before plugging it, that creates a good water-tight seal. Drop a CEO and they get air-tight real fast.
