Natural gas is being touted by some people as a replacement for gasoline. It does work and IF more can be pumped from the ground it could also be economical. There is the catch as the environmentally-challenged are dead set against drilling any more wells. They cite the same species elimination hoaxes as they used before, but they have added a new twist. With all the holes being drilled in the earth’s crust, they claim we are weakening the earth’s mantle and we are doomed for disaster when it cracks apart. This sounds like a modern-day Humpty Dumpty tale to me.
They are also fighting all the pipelines needed for the distribution of the resource of ours, reading from the same old playbook they used in the 60’s.
In Alaska, they said the Alaskan Oil Pipeline would destroy the caribou, since they would not be able to travel to their breeding grounds. It seems like they thought the caribou would be afraid to walk under the pipeline. (Yes, the pipeline was elevated to allow for animal migration and added much cost. We see now a caribou population about eight to ten times greater that what it was before the pipeline. The now-warmed caribou are much friskier and they too, were much more fruitful and multiply in great abundance.
Caribou Steak is really good too. If you don’t believe me ask the Polar Bears. They are also multiplying not dying off as the liberals would have you believe.
