What will burning that extra gas do to the price of gas? Price follows demand. It's the law. Also, where do the emissions from burning that extra gas go? Into the air we breath. Did you know that if you could walk vertically, you could walk to the end of the life-sustaining portion of our atmosphere in less than an hour? Did you know that on a 3" scale model of earth, the life-sustaining portion of the atmosphere would be .001" thick? I'm 66, and every breath I take contains 5 times the carbon dioxide my childhood breaths contained. In 2005, the U.S. dumped 1700 million tons of hydrocarbons into our thin, fragile atmosphere, 24% of the global total. Volcanic activity accounted for 3% of the global total. Meanwhile, the burgeoning population of our planet, now over 6 billion and projected to be from 9 to 11 billion by 2050, cleared and paved more green space, space that served to clean hydrocarbons from that thin, fragile atmosphere. I ask you, then, is your analysis part of the problem or part of the solution?
