Mitigating Orphan Oil Wells
There are around 70 orphan wells in Utah, which release greenhouse gases and can also contaminate groundwater. That number is fairly low, said Rikki Hrenko-Browning, with the Utah Petroleum Association, but it’s likely to go up as green energy replaces oil and gas. Rob Schuwerk is with a non-profit called the Carbon Tracker Initiative. His group found it will cost around $4 billion to plug all the wells in Utah, but oil and gas companies have put up less than $20 million in bonds. There are a few bills in Congress right now that would help fix the issue by providing funding for orphan well clean up and raising bonding requirements.
On Thursday night, writer and activist Terry Tempest Williams spoke on Zoom about her current work on climate change, wildfires and social concerns among the COVID-19 pandemic.
Williamsâ work focuses mainly on environmental concerns and social issues as she thinks through living life as ethically as possible.
Her numerous books, such as âRefuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Placeâ and âErosion: Essays of Undoing,â have won multiple awards, such as the Sierra Club John Muir Award and have been featured in The New Yorker and various literary magazines.
Williams is also the Provostial Scholar at Dartmouth College and the Writer-in-Residence at the Harvard Divinity School.
