A troubling situation in California has finally been declared an emergency: California Governor Jerry Brown finally declared a state of emergency on Wednesday, concerning the ongoing, currently unstoppable methane gas leak spewing from Aliso Canyon that has created a nightmare for residents of Porter Ranch.
“I will tell you, this goes well beyond Porter Ranch. We’ve had complaints from as far as Chatsworth, Northridge, and Granada Hills,” emphasized Los Angeles City Councilman Mitchell Englander during a Porter Ranch town hall meeting on December 28. “Apparently this plume of toxic chemicals and whatever it might be, doesn’t know zip codes […] This is the equivalent of the BP oil spill on land, in a populated community.” placeholderI guess the gas is rocketing out of there with the force of a volcano. Nobody light a match.  |

I truly can't imagine that. The numbers are just mind boggling.

Looks like a plea for more subsidies!
It will be included in the next bill, wait and see. Somewhere attached to the defense bill or VA benefits. That way the democrats can't refuse the bill, would be unpatriotic and hypocritical.

You do realize a fart is methane gas?
Since it's light enough to float in the air, I expect a metric ton of it would be a sight to behold!  |

Does anyone here know the specific gravity of methane gas? I'm not accustomed to gases being measured by weight. |
