In the book IN COLD BLOOD, Truman Capote wrote that in Holcomb, KS, people could just pump
natural gas out of the ground to heat their homes. Is this still true? And if so, I guess you
could use it to cool your home also?

3. if xcel werent already pumping it out of the ground to pipeline

to Minnesota... then yes we would have an abundance. yet we get to not just pay exorbitant rates but also subsidize he pipeline to carry it all away.

fact is from "Fracting" gas wells, Weld county Currently has flammable well water.

4. I live in Ohio and I have a friend who has her own natural gas well...

on her property in the city. I don't think there is a pump, I think it just comes out. She does not have to pay for the gas that she uses. Came with the house. Soooo Maybe Truman was right.
