A reader sent it to me overnight.
This article led me down a rabbit hole that kept me up most of the night. If I didn't have family commitments I would post the links that helped me understand this article. I will do that later, and, as usual, with comments.
By the way, two things:
- I do not understand natural gas; and,
- this whole subject has been discussed numerous times and in depth on the blog.
Most of the really good stuff has come from RBN Energy.
