It is the strongest, most powerful energy source..next to your sun. Until I see a solar powered ship or semi, I'll stick to my guns. <br /><br />Just FYI, a key natural gas development in the state is the 6,000-foot-deep Marcellus Shale rock formation, believed to contain more than 50 trillion cubic-feet of recoverable natural gas. <br /><br />It’s been called a game-changer for West Virginia’s economy. Marcellus Shale development has the potential to rejuvenate both the chemical and manufacturing industries. <br /><br />In addition to West Virginia’s natural gas production, state infrastructure handles three times that amount from other sources, making the state is an important supplier to the Northeast during the winter months when natural gas demand peaks.<br /><br />How do you heat your home...wood burner...? Electric? <br /><br />How about coal? Look at the accident rates for coal mines in West Virginia...Every industry that gives you the things we all need have potentially harmful results...most recent accident was in November of this year...Gas Patch Pridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120799961653172951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5384147341251835427.post-71231128498492042972012-12-13T15:52:39.768-08:002012-12-13T15:52:39.768-08:00BTW, y'all might take a look at my latest post...BTW, y'all might take a look at my latest post? Bloody Columbia Gas Transmission AGAIN! So much for "clean burning natural gas with high BTU output.." Well, except for smoke from 9 houses, the surrounding woods, and asphalt from a 15 foot deep pit that was Interstate 77 - all in flames near Charleston, WV yesterday afternoon.. see my point? SISSONVILLE, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The wall of the natural gas pipeline that exploded in Sissonville, W.Va. on Tuesday had deteriorated to less than a tenth of an inch thick, the National Transportation Safety Board revealed Wednesday evening.<br /><br />The NTSB also said there was a sudden pressure drop in the pipeline just before the explosion but they still had not determined whether that caused the explosion.<br /><br />The explosion and ensuing fire destroyed four homes, damaged at least five others and damaged an 800-foot stretch of I-77.<br /><br />The 10-member NTSB team determined that the pipeline had lost seventy percent of its thickness in spots.<br /><br />Pieces of the pipeline will be sent to Washington, D.C. for further examination.

Sure.. "ya" .. we a...Silly old Gas Patch! Sure.. "ya" .. we all want to go and live in a cave somewhere and die starving and miserable.. the point that this blog TRIES to make is that it is not the USE of products from gas or oil.. or algae or hydroelectric schemes.. it is the fact that safety.. of employees and the end-product user.. so often seems to be a tertiary consideration to the energy industry. And FYI, I personally try to limit my consumption of ALL produced goods.. I have a 10 KW solar array and NO electricity bills thank you.. ya know, if more people looked to DUMPING their TV, GROWING their own fruit, veg and meat for example.. like we do.. and also dumping the majority of prescription and non-prescription "chemical" medicines.. like we have.. then this country and its citizens would be a damn site healthier, fitter and less polluted than it/they is/are right now!

No transportation…other than walking...oh ya without shoes...rubber is petroleum based.<br />2. Can't live in your house...guaranteed that at least 45 % of the materials used in the house are petroleum based..<br />3. Don't eat...unless you grew it in a garden that you hand dug...with your hands...that rubber handled shovel you own...ya has petroleum based products<br />4. any goods you bought at the store...take them back...they had to get there by truck which in turns uses gas or diesel fuel...so that's out of the picture...<br />5. No TV...that’s got plastic...that's petroleum based.<br />6. if you're a women...no makeup...oil based...petroleum based...use dirt it might make you look better.<br /><br />Dare you to take the challenge...Doubt you will because you blog on a computer that is made of plastic...oh petroleum based...You're lucky that the USA has the freedom of speech, which lets you say and speak your opinion....as did I with this comment...<br /><br />Good Day<br />Gas Patch Pridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10120799961653172951noreply@blogger.com
