IF the methane is that prevalent, why don’t they find a way to capture it and burn it to help save energy?
Could be a great find.
I guess it’s best to simply whine about it.
They do capture it; coalbed methane is a great source of natural gas in San Juan Basin. Mostly it's shallow and doesn't contain the other harmful constituents found in gas associated with crude oil (such as benzene). The irony is that without pumping out the water, the gas remains trapped in the core pores. Once that water is removed, gas can migrate through any penetration of the formation, man-made and natural.
