Coal seam gas

I'm listening to Radio National from the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) about Australian farmers' discontent with the activities of mining companies drilling on their land for coal seam methane.

Some concerns about salinity ruining the land and potential degradation of the underground aquifers...

I had been hoping that, overall, coal seam gas would be part of the solution to global warming, not part of the problem.

Now a quick news item about Barack Obama's successful negotiations with Russia's president Boris Medvedyev on reducing the number of missiles in both countries. See - there is some good news around.
