I have a couple of questions left to this article. Firstly, I wonder why the gas escaped through the pipe, and not through the rest of the water. Maybe I just didn't understand the idea of that pipe, but can someone explain, why the CO2 goes through the pipe and not the water (there's water in the pipe, too, isn't there)? Secondly, why didn't the wind mix the CO2 into the air in the surroundings of the lake? Was that just because there were mountains there, too? to comment 13 (dave): If the locals don't have the need, nor the money for electricity, how do they buy and charge their cell-phones? i know a lot of Africans try to get one, but I was surprised to hear that about a little village.
