Water is coming up, but not overflowing….
Did they not video the right thing, or at the right time?
I don’t see the sick wildlife they are talking about…
I don’t see the hundreds of gallons flowing out of a well…
I don’t see any testing of the water…
Looks completely fake…
😃
@StephenieHandley
Bring this to your congress, tv, internet, whatever it takes, these companies must pay
@maddog6245
The Permian Basin in Texas & New Mexico has lots of these old wells that leak produced water, oil and gas to the atmosphere every day, and have leaked for decades. Ranchers like this gentleman have absolutely no one to turn to for help, regulatory agencies that oversee the oil & gas industry offer little to no assistance at all.
@leebrandzel3670
Very bad.
@mikemccormick1676
Hook it up to Mar-a-lago's water pipes. Then Trumpty Dumpty could get a first hand view of what unregulated oil companies do. I bet he wouldn't want to use that water!
@theurbanthirdhomestead
NAME THEM!!! This is poor journalism. Why don't we start calling these companies out? The Cotter Brothers are the ones who destroyed Canon City, Colorado with their uranium mines then sold the mess to another company who ended up not being able to afford the cleanup, so then they called it a superfund site and cleanup comes out of our tax monies, but even that didn't work, so now they gave up, and the poisons leach into the water and the soil and give children cancers.
@JamesBarry-j7m
This is what happens when you let companies run rampant in your state and dictate policy
@azboldazalion1938
Well, stay away from there..
@romilahernandez8083
So sad to think that these beautiful animals go there to enjoy wildlife then they’ll die 😭😭😭
@finoochoa9568
What about the environmental protection agency what are they doing???? Do they see this???
@thehealingqueensv
Ask the Trump administration and they'll do something
@TubersAndPotatoes
Is there any way to use the water as a resource? Like manufacture sulfiric acid and also extract hydrogen gas from it?
@yeamanjanes4036
From the Earth by which which you came
@edgarzuluaga4896
What state is this?
@ambatrondavis9488
America, the richest country in the world. Also, it doesn't care about poisoning its people, places and wildlife. Greed is a soulless game to win.
@Belle-tn8qr
😮😢 No! This is horrific!
Damn. 😡Something has to be done! Shameful.🙏
@Deltawhiskeymike
"H2S"(Googable) just sounds lovely….
@DorkSideoftheMoon
Appreciate the next few decades. They’ll be the last.
@Charna-e7v
All rich and wealthy people have proven to only kill us all off. 😢 Lord help this situation 🙏.
@QuitCryingYouLost
IF YOU WANT THIS STUFF FIXED THEN QUIT VOTING FOR REPUBLICANS…THEY PASS LAWS ALLOWING COMPANIES TO DO THIS. THESE COMPANIES PAY REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS AND THEY VOTE DOWN LAWS AND HELP THESE COMPANIES GET AWAY WITH THIS STUFF.
@ericligotke3542
Can’t they just cap it with a ventilated tent of some kind? It would be inexpensive. It wouldn’t fix the problem, but it would keep the birds and wildlife from drinking the water. I’m guessing a couple thousand or less
@Methad-One
Thank your grandparents greed for ruining your land not the government!
@IQ-XMEN
The world don't need luxury but priority to survive, vegetation, animals, water.

Trump seeks $1 billion from oil CEOs, vows to limit EVs
May 9, 2024 — Donald Trump has pledged to scrap President Biden's policies on electric vehicles and wind energy, as well as other initiatives opposed by the fossil fuel …
@trailerhillbillyAZ
Lake Boehmer in West Texas is toxic because of a leaking oil well that was originally drilled in 1951 and later converted to a water well. The well has been leaking toxic salt water, heavy metals, and hydrogen sulfide for almost two decades, creating a 60-acre lake that's three times saltier than the ocean. The water also contains sulfate levels that are 25 times higher than the legal limit for drinking water
@ATRTAP
Why don’t they put some chicken wire over it.. find it hard to believe they can’t fence it off for the wildlife
@moremoola
One of probably many problems as a result of drilling for oil or gas…
There really should be an oversight committee to make sure this disgusting crap doesn't happen!
@waterloojew
Don't worry Komalla with fix it on her first day in office
@Katheryn-nx3oi
Why are they so close to the water if the gas off it is so bad.
@ShookOnesTO
Wait his name is Skylar White? Wasn’t that the wife’s name is breaking bad. Didn’t think the second person I would see with that name would be a cowboy.
@nogames8982
If that happened in some other country, we’d send them billions to fix it.
@fiftydoggy9829
Good old USA
No RESECT
@bigdougscommentary5719
Un American to drill a hole in the ground and then just walk away. Typical of the Texas oil industry.

@zherkezhi

@kentmombourquette5385
They should make the company pay for cannons. They I do believe run on propane it sounds like a shotgun it scares wildlife away.
@user-zj5us9yy2q
Government in action😂
@peterbilt9996
Send the water to LA..
@nwc3270
Wow that’s sick that the government doesn’t step in and abandon the well the proper way, what a joke
@Mr.H-zu1jc
But ppl get mad at us who want to ban fracking. 🤦🏼
@evguenikrassavine5918
Humans dont care, if they would care, they would stop it and noone could stop them…
@Dwizer.
Imagine what will happen to all the oil and gas pipelines currently being drilled under the sea….
