GAO: Gov’t Waste of Natural Gas Costing Taxpayers Millions
7th May 2015
Read it.
Significant amounts of natural gas on federal lands are being wasted, costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars each year and adding to harmful greenhouse gas emissions, a congressional investigation has found.
The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office also said the Bureau of Land Management failed to conduct production inspections for hundreds of high-priority oil and gas wells — roughly 1 out of 5 — to ensure full payment of royalties to the U.S.
Prediction: Nobody will get fired, nobody will go to jail.
