From Chuck's link:
"The WSJ's Mustafa Abdulaziz writes: Many water supplies in northern Pennsylvania have long contained detectable levels of methane, because of poorly constructed water wells and the unusual geologic features here. But the contamination in Ms. Vargson's existing well is among the first cases that state regulators have attributed to natural-gas drilling. Pennsylvania sits on top of some of the country's most gas-rich shale in the United States, making it a veritable gold mine for companies looking to harvest natural gas by deep-drilling and fracking. But stories like Vargson's beg the question: couldn't this energy be harvested without the unfortunate side effect of, you know, setting people's kitchens aflame?"

I have a high-school acquaintance who has been fighting tooth and nail against the companies who continue 'tracking'. She has been going on about it for a couple of years and the issue is finally getting the attention it deserves.
We are the 99 percent!

They even made a movie and it has come up here.

I'd like to have a well that put off natural gas too.

Is that like "ON STAR" who track your car whether you subscribe or not and sell the info to insurance companies?

I'd be pretty happy to get methane off my septic tank, too. I haven't figured how to do that and retain the vent pipes though.
