"More than 3.5 million abandoned oil and gas wells are littered across the United States [including in cities] and an estimated 14 million Americans live within a mile of one of the wells.
Those that leak are known in West Texas as “zombie wells” and can contaminate groundwater and spew carcinogenic chemicals and potent greenhouse gases."
