If lease and damage agreements were signed and executed either the operator or the land owner should clean those sights up. If a company goes under and you signed a damage agreement and took the money it should be on you. That being said, I'm glad they (we) are doing it, some one has to. I can't see anyone jumping up to say I'll do it on the earthquakes, the liability would be crazy.It may be a valid reason for a wellhead tax of some sort, but that sort of stuff gets crazy too. And taxing a commodity that is already diminishing in value, probably won't grow jobs.If it comes down to a tax, I think it should be a tax off the top, affecting both royalty owners and producers.</blockquote>
