America's thirst for oil and gas has left a vast landscape of wells,

but most don't produce much oil at all.

These piddly little wells that are just drip-drabbing a little bit of profit while polluting,

they're not worth it.

Why so many American wells remain unplugged and abandoned,

despite the real threat of long-term pollution,

listen now to the Sunday story on the

Up First podcast from NPR. Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Janine Hurst. President Trump is

dialing back his threats to Chicago after posting on social media that the city is, quote,

about to find out why it's called the Department of War,

referring to his executive order Friday to rebrand the Department of Defense.

But as NPR's Kat-Lonsdorf reports, Trump says he still plans to take federal action on the city.

Trump has said he will deploy troops to Chicago. He just hasn't said when.

But when asked if he was threatening war with Chicago, he said this. We're going to clean up our city. We're going to clean them up so they don't kill five people every weekend. That's not war. That's common sense. Trump maintains that the National Guard would be sent in to fight crime in the city, even though data shows violent crime is down in recent years.

Large crowds took to the streets in downtown Chicago to protest Trump's plans, and local lawmakers

strongly opposed them as well. Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker posted on social media that Trump's

plan was one repeated by, quote, dictators across history, inciting the local population before sending

in disruptors.

He said Illinois won't fall for it.
