Why don’t they hire some fracking teams to frack the whole region, pulverize the rock under it and just crush the fire out by collapsing all the old mine shafts?

Could air still get in if the shafts were gone?

Thanks to those environmental snowflakes and their downstate co-conspirators in Annapolis, all fracking is banned in Maryland. I can remember as a kid, pulling out handfuls of dark, petroleum-smelling oil shale from dirt in the mountainside we lived on. It would be an economic boon to the area, if it weren’t for a dozen infantile protestations from the hippy-dippy contingent. Same goes for coal - now everbody wants ‘clean’ coal, and the sulfur content of the coal up there is too high and the cost of extracting and refining it too prohibitive for it to be of any domestic use now. The area has been dying from a thousand papercuts for a half century now. One more reason to loathe liberals to the point of wanting to watch them die a slow, lingering death.
