I've seen the video of the guy opening his faucet and lighting it up but I read somewhere that that was found to be biogenic, and that that kind of thing is actually really rare with fracking. Not an expert in this though so I could be wrong.
Coal pollutes lots of water though so it seems hard to beat. Certainly fracking causes more fracking waste than coal, but I believe the overall environmental impact is less across the board.
- kube-system 6y agoI think a lot of people forget: 1) how bad well water often naturally is and 2) that it still exists. There is a reason why treated public water systems are such a foundational part of modern public health. I have family whose water is undrinkable, not due to man-made pollution, but due to high levels of natural minerals in their well. They rely on bottled water for human consumption. https://www.epa.gov/privatewells https://www.epa.gov/privatewells
