PA DEP Spending $44M This Yr, $76M Next Yr to Plug Orphaned Wells

| | |

In May, MDN told you that since taking office in January, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro has been a major dud — someone who doesn’t know how to lead (see Secretive PA Gov. Josh Shapiro a Major Dud Since Taking Office). He’s bereft of any idea of what to do and how to do it, especially with respect to energy issues. Since that time, our opinion has not changed. The state STILL does not have a fully completed budget for this year. Talk about a do-nothing leader! So we found it amusing to read the headline for Shapiro’s latest press release: “Governor Shapiro Gets Stuff Done: Shapiro Administration Plugs More Than 130 Orphaned & Abandoned Wells in Just 11 Months, Surpassing the Total Over the Previous Eight Years Combined.”
