Nonprofits such as Well Done and Environmental Innovators of America are using money from donations by corporations and individuals to clean and plug some of the at least 1 million wells left behind by bankrupt oil and natural gas companies.

Bank of England’s interest-rate hike is its biggest in three decades

The Bank of England made its largest interest-rate increase in three decades in response to inflation that the central bank still expects to accelerate.
By a 7-to-2 vote, the U.K. central bank voted to lift rates by a three-quarters percentage point to 3%, as inflation hit a 40-year high in September. The central bank said inflation will further accelerate to 11% in the fourth quarter.
The pound dropped despite the central bank matching the Fed’s three-quarter point rate hike. That’s because of a comment found within the minutes of the meeting, that a majority felt rates would not have to go as high as the implied 5.25% path in financial markets.
