Natural Gas bubbling up everywhere?

It seems that the energy crisis may have now been averted according to this article. Apparently engineers have figured out new ways to extract natural gas, thus increasing the amount of recoverable reserves to levels never before imagined. Some time ago, I posted a link to another article saying that the earth itself is creating this natural gas along with oil, that it's not some kind-of result of dinosaurs remains. If both articles are accurate, it looks like we don't need to worry about long-term energy needs unless these environmental wackos can convince governments that climate change is real, then we're all in trouble.

Chernobyl - a photo essay

Here's a site I found a number of years ago. It is operated by a photo-journalist who lives in Ukraine I believe and has put together quite a website with photos and commentary about the Chernobyl disaster and also some interesting information from some WWII battlefields. If you have some time, I highly recommend browsing around there. She also offers some books she has put together of photos for sale. Over all, it is simply a fascinating site.
