Nice article, by the way. That was the original intent of my comment but as usual I got sidetrack by too much venom. P.S. Nice article, by the way.

WV is sacrificing its good water, relative peace and quiet, dark night skies, etc, so a few landowners and the energy companies can make money by raising our domestic gas prices. In the long term, we're going to become a huge rural industrial zone and property values will suffer. I'm really tired of flag-waving patriotic hard-working religious Americans telling the rest of us that we're commies or something for complaining about gas drilling. I'll shut up now and go mow the lawn. I'm a hard worker too. The fact that much of this natural gas will now be exported to China is the most aggravating aspect of the WV Marcellus boom.

It burns cleaner than gasoline and it is easy and cheap to convert internal comustion engines to natural gas - much cheaper than building hybrids, and making ethanol from corn. The infrastructure for gas distribution would be more economical in the long run than gasoline tanker trucks. Incidentally, there are already thousands of vehicles running on natural gas, mostly in fleets belonging to businesses.
