One of my neighbors in KY drilled a couple of decades ago right under his yard. Cost him a few thousand. He and his immediate neighbors have been enjoying free natural gas ever since.

Good for them! I love to hear stories like that. NH is one of the few states with no coal or NG. But we have plenty of wood!
I am on the Science, Technology and Energy Committee of the NH House of Representatives. I have sent a link to the whole committee and others as well.

This is interesting. Do you know how far down they had to drill? I assume you need a licensed and competent drilling company to drill, cap off, valve/pipe into your home, etc.

Also, if you presently have utility-supplied gas, I am wondering if one is able to drill and pipe into the house right alongside the utility, with a shut-off or isolation system. That way, if your well runs dry you can turn the utility back on.

Interesting....
