Congresswoman Summer Lee
Sometimes, even a radicalized, anti-Semitic leftist like Congresswoman Summer Lee, Democrat from Pittsburgh and member of "The Squad" of truly Communistic radicals in the U.S. House of Representatives, can swerve into a good piece of legislation. In July 2023, Lee introduced the Abandoned Well Remediation Research and Development Act (H.R. 4877), which directs the Dept. of Energy (DOE) "to establish a research, development, and demonstration program concerning abandoned oil and gas wells." It doesn't actually solve the abandoned well problem, but it moves the ball in the right direction by setting up a national database to catalog such wells and propose a program to help fix the issue. Lee's bill just passed the U.S. House in a bipartisan vote of 333-75. Credit where credit is due, although we fervently hope she is defeated in the November election.
