Firewater, indeed. I saw a natural gas commercial, not too long ago, where they were talking about how safe and clean their technology is. I suppose it's true, as long as companies aren't tempted to cut corners.
(and yes, technically the water itself isn't being lit on fire)
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
