THE GREAT ABYSS. PANTEX .is where America stores most of its larger nuclear weapons. It's location is indicated by the red dot on the Texas county map. The image to the right is the official U.S. Geological Survey map of America's natural gas reserves; all of which are collectively referred to as the HUGOTON-PANHANDLE GAS RESERVE. The various colors on the map indicate the density of gas from one area to another, while the green dotted lines are the borders of the land masses.
Keep in mind the gas reserve doesn't always follow America's shore lines.
The entire North American Continent is perched directly on top of these reserves. The largest of the reserves within the Hugoton-Panhandle Complex is the "Panhandle Reserve," which is located a few miles north of- PANTEX, .which is just outside of Amarillo, Texas. At this location this horrendous natural gas reserve is less than fifty feet below the surface of the Earth. - ... LESS THAN 50 FEET !!
At only fifty feet, the roof of one chamber of the Panhandle Reserve is shallow enough to be cracked then set ablaze by almost anything falling from the sky, such as a falling star or a meteorite. This area has been referred to by local people as The Great Abyss, because it's known to be immeasurable, (which is the definition of the term abyss). Others simply refer to it as the bottomless pit. As this report continues, these titles will become extremely important.

If we are sitting on that big a gas reserve, how come I'm paying $2.69 a gallon?
"We're all going die!!"
I've decided to stop worrying about my longterm debt
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. - H. L. Mencken
Sounds like we need to start drilling.
Natural Gas, not Crude Oil.
So convert all our cars to natural gas... this is a no brainer...
If a bunch of natural gas randomly arranged and ignited surrounding a weapon is all it takes to detonate one, why do they spend all that money on machining explosive lenses to ridiculously tight tolerances and designing complex firing systems?
