Alaska Officials Urge Feds To Plug Abandoned Oil Wells
From Miami Herald
Alaska officials blasted the federal government Thursday during a Senate hearing for what they said was a lackluster strategy for plugging more than 100 abandoned oil wells in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska on the North Slope.
Charisse Millett, a Republican member of the Alaska House of Representatives, testified along with other state officials to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, whose top Republican is Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
