Threatens shut down over 1/3 of domestic fuel production cuz the 0 admin dose not like how TX issues permits. The Power generation industry has not been allowed to build a new new nuke plant in 30 years, and now is having trouble getting FERC permits to build Clean coal and NG fired plants, Or the EPA regulating ultra efficient engines and Diesels from US shores
how is that not the EPA being used as a weapon against the "industries" that are not PC/Green to punish them into submission and extract even more dollars from our pockets.
Taxes, well if you speak open against the govt for a living well you get audited every year. Same if you have a industry that the govt dose not like.

Any way, the town in PA you are referencing has Methane migrating around in the ground water NOT NATURAL GAS.
When they run frac well down its 3-5k feet and concreted down well into the impermeable rock layer to seal the well casing to that layer. When the fracturing occurs it dose not have a effective fracture zone of 6-10k Vertical feet. you are talking about a few hundred vertical feet maybe a 1000 at most depending on the geologic conditions. Thats Still 1000's of feet below the effective water table and several 1000 feet of impermeable rock (you know...... the stuff keeping the gas in the ground) .
Oh you can have flammable well water and not have a Oil or gas well fracked or other wise with in a 1000 miles of you well. Ever hear of H2S (hydrogen sulfide) its what makes your well water smell like sulfur (rotten eggs) and the shit is Highly flammable .
Look can accidents happen, yeah there is always that possibility. Yes there have been some issues that have come from it, but many of them have come form the 40's-60's. It was ban in 1972, but has since sunseted and even the EPA has deemed the process SAFE. The process has come a long way in the last 60 years and has way better tech behind it and we have much more control of it than we had when they were pioneering the process.
