    a couple questions on the MS duece-eleven

    holy batman...hadn't been back to that thread in a while, so... what about methanation? or taking some of these abandoned mines we got, filling em' tight full of biomass, pre-laying a pipe to avoid drilling costs, and caving em' in with dynamite? it only takes what...20-30 years to press...
