I have seen acquaintances of mine light their well water on fire right at the faucet.

In fact gas separators are common on wells around here.

The bore holes are the very same ones used for generations in standard drilling and no one is complaining about those wells. In fact natural gas is a common by product of standard oil drilling and is often captured for sale along with the oil.

The la brea tar pits are basically open air oil wells. In fact some of the first oil wells were drilled right next to them. All those bubbles you see coming up out of the tar are methane. And people live and work right next to them and in them in some cases.

But no one is crying a river of tears over those methane leaks.

People understand that a big drill bores into the earth, pumps in millions of gallons of chemicals and breaks up the hole through high pressure. Thats why this is a perfect subject for the Left, just like “Global Warming”,its more about emotion than facts, what ever they actually be.

Study’s and facts have nothing to do with what the general public intuitively believes. To be honest I have not gotten to a place where I believe to know what all the risks and benefits are. And I have studied it to a degree and am sure I know much more than the general public on the subject.
