    Yeah, quite ignorable

    Though, if the production rate is higher than the residence time your'e screwed

          Agreed. But why the need to compete with them? I mean... congratulations. The pro-oil crowd has won. They are more retarded than the hippies.

            Maybe a thread announcing every methane release.
            We just need to run our oil pipelines under dairies and ranches instead of through corn fields ... the explosions will take care of the belching/farting behemoths. Win/win

                        We need more oil disasters.
