Representatives of the GreenARMY took aim at Louisiana’s oil and gas industry Monday, demanding it pay its fair share for cleaning up abandoned oil wells and equipment scattered around the state.

Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré, U.S. Army, Ret., told a town hall meeting attended by about 30 people in Lafayette that while fossil fuels “helped build this country,” the industry has mostly shirked its obligation to plug and properly abandon oil wells around the state, instead shifting that burden to state and federal government programs and funding.
