There are areas where methane in the water does naturally occur. But that doesn't mean it is ok to introduce methane in the water supply. Talk about fuzzy reasoning.

>> A Colorado Republican state senator justified the practice of hydraulic fracturing — commonly known as “fracking” — by saying that the presence of burnable amounts of methane gas in drinking water is a perfectly natural phenomenon. In fact, he said, the “Indians” used it for “warmth in the wintertime” many years ago.

He's very confused.

There is no evidence that fracking makes water "burn."

This is a myth propagated by a dummied up demonstration in a made up movie scene. Not unlike the ghosts in Ghostbusters.
