Well, I've got to jump on the West Virginia bandwagon. And I know a bunch of Sizemores, because I was raised in Clay county.
But back to this methane subject for energy conversion. My family gets royalties from natural gas wells on our property in Clay Co. At present, the latest thing before the WV legislature is property owner rights regarding methane..
Therefore, my question: Since Methane deposits usually pocket a few hundred feet or less under the surface, do such deposits exist in the D.R? If so, the cost to drill would be a lot less and would be a cheaper source of energy for the country. Has this been looked at by the Dominican government or private companies?
Last, not much mention of wind generated power? Wouldn't it be a hell of alot cheaper to generate electricity for the country, by putting up dozens of 250 ft. tall windmill turbines? This would reduce dependency on buying oil from Venzuela and other countries to supply generating plants.
Any comments?
