I live a few hours east of Centralia, and would like to check it out. As far as I can tell there are a few buildings still standing, and a few holdouts still living there. I know there is at least one cemetery there as well; I wonder if people are able to visit.

Amazing. Kind of reminds me of the exploding whale in Oregon.

Why not try to do something useful with it, like power a geothermal energy plant?

What is the method proposed now to quench the fire? Simply strip mining it would open up a huge barbecue.

You should be able to kill this fire by pumping in Halon gas.
Oh wait, they banned Halon as being a “Greenhouse gas”!

That should be another candidate for the stupidity award, I wonder what they use to protect computer rooms now?

The article proposes a solution that would probably work, and at little to no taxpayer expense.
But then some “Evil corporation” might make a profit, and an American energy source would be utilized, cannot have that!

I live about 45 minutes from Centralia. About 25 years ago, I drove through at dusk-it was very eerie seeing the orange-blue flames coming from the cracks in the earth....

Can’t we just stuff Democrats down the vents until the fires are smothered?
