Fracking is contaminating water supplies all over the place. It's a horrible environmental polluter and is causing tremors as well since it leaves giant empty chambers in the ground. Sure we're on the road to energy independence, but at the cost of anyone who lives near a natural gas deposit. And of course, the government isn't going to do anything about it.
The only time I've ever heard of flammable water was when a building site worker was having a krap in one of the privies, and dropped a lit match into the toilet bowl while he was on the throne. A few minutes earlier, another guy had dumped a partly-full can of diesel down the toilet rather than dispose of it properly. Roasted nuts was the result.
Is it supposed to? I mean one minute Americans are QQing about socialism and communism whenever the government wants to step in, next it complains that the government doesn't do anything. I don't get it. :I
It's because most Americans don't really know what socialism really is and it's bandied about as a scare tactic by right leaning parties just like this You Tube video by anti fracking parties.

Ok.... I'll take the bait on this hook. You do know, that water is already two parts hydrogen? :3eyes:
Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNgLrzoIC-o It's not like that couldn't be faked. But it's also not like an entire city is using the same water either, it's probably from his own well water.
Actually, the cause is him not cleaning out his water pipes in forever. What happens is that organic and other material can build up which then go on to release small gas pockets. I forgot all the details, but this video was answered a while back.
there was this methane filled water supply somewhere in my country, its a never ending flame, they tapped it to the stove.
Yes it is, but the O-H bonds in water are insanely strong. Short of electrolytically breaking them, it's not easy to do.
