废弃煤矿的甲烷可以捕获以获得清洁能源,但法律争端拖延了大规模使用。 Methane from abandoned coal mines may be captured for clean energy, but legal disputes delay large-scale use.

一项新的提案建议,废弃煤矿的甲烷排放可被捕获并用作清洁能源,但州、地主和联邦机构之间的重大法律和所有权纠纷必须得到解决,才能开始大规模实施。 A new proposal suggests that methane emissions from abandoned coal mines could be captured and used as a clean energy source, but significant legal and ownership disputes between states, landowners, and federal agencies must be resolved before large-scale implementation can begin.
