As owner of a 9,700-acre ranch in the Miles City area of southeastern Montana, Fix believes the coalbed methane rush in the state's Powder River Basin could potentially destroy cropland he uses to feed his cattle and dramatically alter the region's landscape by adding thousands of miles of new roads and power lines. Despite those reservations, Fix is not opposed to coalbed methane, or CBM. Methane, more commonly referred to as natural gas, supplies about one-third of the U.S. energy market. (Small amounts of nonmethane gases also fit into the natural gas category.)"
