Rural folks moving to the cites and enjoying growth opportunities. Kind of different from the US. Contraction vs expansion. Difference is, 300 million or so in the US vs 1.3 billion plus folks in China. Also,lets not forget India. Even though they (India) is 5-10 years behind China, huge growth there as well.
I guess whoever has an interest in SWN may be in for a big payoff for decades to come. Too bad the world will need several of SWN's to keep up with demand. Good thing SWN has another 30 KMs or so left untouched. Maybe 50-100 year mine life.
