DENVER – Scientists are working to pinpoint the source of a giant mass of methane hanging over the southwestern U.S., which a study found to be the country's largest concentration of the greenhouse gas.

I remember that. I think the answer was determined back then, although I don’t remember exactly what it was.

I read unmined coal deposits.

So will Algore and his ilk sue the earth?

LOL! Maybe there will be a megabuck research project that ends up presenting the same conclusion.

Too arid to support cattle ranching, so it must be sheep farting.

There are a lot of cows out there, just not a lot of cows per square mile. My old stomping grounds.

BTW, I had more than one client show me how they could light the water in their sink. This was long before fracking.

One guy collected the gas and used it to cook on. He didn’t have enough volume to heat his house with, though.

If only there was some way to safely harvest this methane and to make productive use out of it. Oh well, this is sage grouse territory now, we’ll just have to let the birds figure out something to do with it.
