LICHTBLAU: Natural gas has a lot of potential at new, higher prices. There is a lot to be found; we have not really looked for it the same way as for oil because earlier there was no market and later prices were set so low that there was no incentive.

As in New Town, gay people still encounter suspicion and hostility...
