I think one of my brothers was involved with coal field and landfill gas
recovery. As long as we have landfills filled with garbage, I believe
we'll have a source of gas for heating homes and running power
plants. ^_^

Have you watched "Bayou Billionaires" the Dowdens of Shreveport,
Louisiana?

"...The Dowdens purchased their 80 acres of land in 1997 for $160,000.
Today, they receive between $10,000 and $12,000 a month, per well.
They currently have four wells on their land, but soon they will put
in 20 -- with each well lasting 16-20 years. The family could
accumulate an estimated amount of $57.6 million."
