Is it because of Fracking or were rivers always known to catch fire?

[MaryL]

Back in 1969, the Cuyahoga river caught on fire. Which is alarming, because water isn't supposed to be flammable. When your water catches on fire, something isn't normal. Petroleum is involved usually and is rarely a natural occurrence. Reckless handling of petroleum does that. Fracking also increases the normal number of earthquakes. The possible contamination of groundwater, another consideration.

Go move back into a cave. You'll come out screaming for your conveniences inside of an hour.

So, we HAVE to destroy the environment because of conveniences ? Your priorities seem a little short sighted.

Does anyone actually know the cause of the fire?

Wasn't that an issue with regards to those faucets that flamed? It was blamed on fracking, but it turned out it was due to shallow surface biological decay products, and not fracking gas.

Really? Would you care to link that for us? That is not at all what the people from the fracking industry are stating.

I'd be interested in seeing more about these shallow surface thingamabobs. Link?

Look up biogenic gas. It's also been called 'swamp gas".

This is the colorado government response to gasland.

Why the hell did you not look up specific information about that river before posting nonsense?

Actually there are old records of rivers during the (4 terms) FDR administration which were so thoroughly polluted that they were able to catch fire.

Yeah....because we all know methane doesnt seep out of the bottom of lakes and rivers.

Yeah but Methane isnt water dumbass LMAO

You dumbass.
Methane is a gas that floats to the surface and will burn.
What a tard.

Stupid nit, it is the warming of the arctic and the melting of the permo

What an ignorant asshole you are. It is the warming that has caused the increase in the emission of CH4 from the permafrost. That is why we are seeing a very large increase in the emission of CH4 from the Arctic.

Swamp fire, big whoop lol. Only imbecilic city dwelling enviro hysterics think anything about it.

Oh go holds some ducks hostage, or something. Why don't you try your lies on these city dwellers.

LOL. So post some links. LOL

What difference does the environment make to those suffering from poverty, pestilence and starvation resulting from short-sighted energy policy?
You would be among the first time cry about losing your lifestyle if screwy environment policies actually impacted your cushy world.

Yeah, because it was POLLUTED!

Alarmist much?

Please tell me you understand the difference between mining a coal seam, and fracturing rock and sucking out the natural gas that results from it.....

Doesn't change the fact you could end up with an underground fire.

I'm not gonna watch an hour long video just to see propaganda. I'll assume it's an anti-fracking flick.
So blame your hero hack president's reimposition of offshore drilling restrictions on the fracking problem you allege. If fracking is a problem for you, blame yourself.

No, it's a story about a mining town where the mine under the city caught fire and has been burning for over 40 years and has basically forced everyone out of the city... and how it has created an environmental nightmare.

Doesn't change the fact that it is not an apt comparison.

No, natural gas pockets can catch fire and burn continuously as well.

yeah, that was intentionally lit, and is a surface burn. You found "one". congrats.

Haha, one? It doesn't take much research to find all kinds of information on the dangers that can be caused. It's a pretty easy thing to understand. If you have necessary evils, you try to minimize how much you have to use them. What's so difficult about that? Do I need to write it in crayon so you understand?

Then why did you use one that really doesn't apply to the situation we are talking about.

I'll put my Master's Degree in Chem E when it comes to understanding this crap against whatever basketweaving degree you have any day of the week.

Most of them were NG leaks inside water pipes.

Actually most of them are from intrinsic methane produced in the water bearing aquifer layers. And the rest are from poorly sealed gas piping from wells, which has nothing to do with fracking, and can happen with normal natural gas production.

I provided links above. Flaming faucets have occurred well before fracking has happened.

Why don't you cram it up your piehole?

really impressive

any proof its from fracking or is it one of those; 'duh, of course it is b/c fracking is evul and provides good paying jobs, duh' things that leftist just know is true.

 

[jillian]

That doesnt seem to be right? Water fights fire normally.

why would the wingers worry about fracking when they can worry about gay marriage.

I guess this is more important to progs than ruining bakers, or having hairy dudes in dresses change in the women's locker room.

Wouldnt it be the best course of action to find out first instead of continuing fracking while yelling "prove it" over a flaming river?

Let's not forget that Barry's EPA ignored the Flint water situation until they had to face it, and of course what they did to the Animas River outside of Durango, Colorado:
