Let's burn the Earth for power!
 

Saw a link to an old Popular Science thing in the SH5 threads.
(Yea, I'm lazy and provide no link. Live with it. :haha:)

UnderGround Coal Gasification is what interested me.
Useing scientific investigative enquires, (Google), I found there's a World Wide Association, (Conspiracy), determined to light fires in underground Coal seams.
:hmmm:

Now I'm not sure how people in Pennsylvania feel about lighting Underground Coal on fire, on PURPOSE!

But I can see a big disaster waiting to happen!
Kind of like the Soviets decideing it was a good idea to burn gases off in Turkmanistan.
:haha:

Shades of an inland Deepwater Horizon!
I mean, what could go wrong?
:nope:

I want a,LINK I have rights,:arrgh!:

Research shows Australia is already torching the Earth?

WTH Tarjak?
:o

David's partner, and we split your tax money,:smug:

That's all,:haha: Keep up the good work Australia.

We can't, (or won't), put out the fires burning in thousands of places (known) around the World.

Now we want to start more on purpose?
:hmmm:

I may be an un-official Village Idiot.
But even I can see the 'bad' side of this little stroke of genious!
I'd say it's much like setting a forest on fire and saying you can ALWAYS control it!
How many back-burns and controlled fires went wild?

Do you see yourself as a crusader who has a goal,:hmmm:

Let me see if I can get this right...set fire to a coal seam underground?

Sure...why not...what could possibly go wrong?

Nope. I really don't care who or what destroys this planet.
I just get a bad feeling when I see what is really under-thought kinds of things that can lead to major disasters!
Deepwater was safe by everyone involved.
So was Three Mile island.
Or Chernobyl and Door to Hell.

Of course, there must come to many measures, in some cases drastic to have a chance to steer the boat.

Centralia is a good example of an accidental fire still burning.
Pre-dateing 3 Mile Island? It wiped out a town.
Though accidental in how it started. What if a UCG went bad?
