Aging. Leaking. Barely maintained. And sitting less than a mile from where your kids go to school.
Over 450 marginal wells in Colorado aren't producing much oil and gas anymore, but they're still releasing methane, leaking toxic fluids, and posing risks in our communities.
Operators keep collecting tax breaks while these wells sit and deteriorate, with no deadline to clean them up.
That ends when enough of us demand it. Add your name to the letter we're sending oil & gas operators; visit https://corfc.org/marginal-wells/

BREAKING: On April 12, answering a call from Palestinians in Gaza, the Global Sumud Flotilla sails from Barcelona with 70+ vessels and 1000+ participants to break Israel’s illegal blockade of aid to Gaza.
Hundreds of medics, teachers, and eco-builders, with expertise in healthcare, education, and sustainable rebuilding, are sailing to support the people of Gaza.
Greenpeace’s Arctic Sunrise ship is providing technical and operational maritime support to the flotilla so that vessels can safely transit the Mediterranean before they complete the last 200 nautical miles to Gaza’s shores.
While world governments have lacked the courage and conviction to uphold international law and their obligation to prevent genocide in Gaza, the Sumud Flotilla is a beacon of global solidarity and symbol of hope in action. The flotilla is a call for governments to act with urgency and principle.

Why should taxpayers cover the cleanup costs when oil companies make the profits? U.S. Department of the Interior keep the requirement that industry pays for restoration.
