As of the 25th of August, the Department of the Interior (DOI) announced that it has decided to allocate $560 million from the Biden Administration's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to 24 states. This money will go to work on plugging, capping, and reclaiming over 10,000 high-priority orphaned gas and oil wells across the United States. The methane gas that leaks from these abandoned sites is much more harmful to the environment than Carbon Dioxide, according to the DOI, making this an important plan to execute.

 
The DOI Sceretary, Deb Haaland, summarized the action, "President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is enabling us to confront long-standing environmental injustices by making a historic investment to plug orphaned wells throughout the country. At the Department of the Interior, we are working on multiple fronts to clean up these sites as quickly as we can by investing in efforts on federal lands and partnering with states and Tribes to leave no community behind. Today's announcement is exciting progress toward what we will accomplish together through this historic Law."
