27000 Of What Kind Of Wells

Abandoned underwater wells you know. Oh you didn't know. Nor I but we do now.

More than 27,000 abandoned oil and gas wells lurk in the hard rock beneath the Gulf of Mexico, an environmental minefield that has been ignored for decades.Regulations for temporarily abandoned wells require oil companies to present plans to reuse or permanently plug them within a year, but AP found that the rule is routinely circumvented and that more than 1,000 wells have lingered in that unfinished condition for more than a decade.

I suppose if a number of these were leaking we would know about it. If there are rules and regulation in place to see that leaks are prevented then given the environment these wells are in the oil need to be held accountable and it's just that simple.

We don't make massive profits on selling oil they do. Not enough people to inspect and regulate then hire some more what's so hard about that? Given recent circumstances can someone take charge and hold these terrorist accountable.
