http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel_lib ... _bate.htmlWhat about all the methane that's coming out of the stoppings at the old coal mines? It's just going up into the atmosphere never to be seen again.
Every coal mine has got two methane taps where the shafts used to be, this is draining the methane from underground.
Why can't we use this???
Maybe because the MP's who so want to appear to be Green trendy Environmentalists are at heart a callous bunch of tossers who only play the green card to win votes and who in reality don't give a stuff about common sense solutions to keeping the countries lights on.

I agree, while ever the shaft stoppers are there there's methane to be had, there must be billions of cubic meters of methane underground in this area alone. I'd hate to think how much is underground in Yorkshire, Wales, the North East and Scotland, it must run into hundreds of trillions of cubic meters. That's enough gas to keep us self sufficient for some 200-300 years. What you've also got to think about is, it's always re producing and is always going to be there no matter how much we take out.
The mind boggles.
