Is burning methane leaking from old coal mines in the Crystal River Valley worth unraveling restoration work in Coal Basin?

Redstones Coal Basin recently received money to study excess methane gas seeping from the coal mines. However, Chris Caskey, founder of Particular Tile and Delta Brick & Climate Company, has been interested in what the potentially hazardous methane could do long ago.

The project in White River National Forest is the first step toward capturing methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and converting it to fuel.

Depending on how you measure, methane emissions in the atmosphere are up to 86 times more harmful than carbon-dioxide emissions. The abandoned coal mines near Redstone threaten the environment with leaking methane. The Coal Basin...
