      Yes. If your work requires environmental cleanup, you should be required to post bond to cover it.

        From what I understand often they do. And often the bond isn’t anywhere close to the actual costs.

      IDK about Texas, but in Alberta there’s an Orphan Well fund that every company contributes to as part of their royalties that covers expected cleanup. And that’s only bankrupt companies, if a solvent company shuts down a well, they pay to restore the land or the province does it and sues them for it.
