Episode Synopsis

Amanda Drane (Energy Reporter at the Houston Chronicle) and Paige Powell (Policy Manager at Commission Shift) join us to discuss drill sites that have been abandoned or forgotten. A problem throughout the country, these sites, some over a century old, can damage water quality, cause subsidence, and leak toxic gases and chemicals. On this episode we'll learn about the threat they represent in Houston, and what should be done to fix the issue.
