1. This is a numero uno issue with me and should be with everyone along with

global climate change.

3. Then again, it's better to burn methane

than allow it into the atmosphere. It's a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, the greenouse product from burning it.

6. Geological luck I guess.

Most of the state is on igneous rock. Only the Connecticut River valley has shale deposits, and estimates are that they are only 2-12 feet thick, so there would be little fracking yield. Not to mention the fact that the biggest cities and towns are on top of it...

8. Yes, indeed,

especially with the current batch of yahoos in Juneau who wouldn't recognize a conflict of interest if it came up and bit them on the ass.

9. Blue_In_AK, if it ever, ever does bite 'em on the ass -

I promise to be there with a video cam.
