“According to a study released today by the Center for Applied research, $8.1 billion will be needed to fill the gaps where existing financial bonds won’t cover the cost to fully clean-up and remediate over 60,000 wells, nearly 11,000 miles of pipeline, and other miscellaneous infrastructure…
The findings require our full attention, participation, and action as a state. Enormous sums of taxpayer money, and the long-term health of our lands, are on the line.”

OPINION | New Mexico's oil and gas industry is inadequately bonded to the tune of $8.1 billion. According to a ...
For too long, communities on the frontlines of oil and gas development have been left out of decisions about what happens in their own backyards. Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took an important step towards changing that by announcing a public engagement process as the agency begins crafting a new rule to tackle methane and associated pollution from new and existing oil and gas operations. Methane pollution from the oil and gas industry is fueling the climate crisis, and endangering the health and safety of communities across the country.
EPA’s rule-making is an opportunity for us to work together to #CutMethane from the oil and gas sector 65 percent by 2025, and we have to start by engaging those who have historically been excluded from this process. EPA's public engagement process is an important way to bring the most vulnerable communities into the fold to work together to #CutMethane.

In New Mexico, children can and often are sentenced as adults for violent crimes even though studies have shown that children have less impulse control and that the brain doesn’t completely stabilize until a person reaches their mid-20s:
Roughly 700 abandoned oil and gas wells are scattered throughout the San Juan and Permian basins, many of them posing environmental hazards and all marring the landscape. Federal funding has been proposed to plug 'orphaned wells' and remediate the sites. That would include stopping them from further contaminating air, groundwater and soil:
