Default Man can ignite his faucet water, gas drilling

This is in the same town I live in where drilling for Marcellus Shale
is quite the hot topic. I quite sure this video may put a wrinkle in
things, if they are at fault...

this has happened in ohara twp locally, and my moms 2nd husband had
natural gas normally in their well water, although not that much.

I beleve there are ways to remove and vent the gas, some in ohara were
using it.

a water well repair crew set off a explosion one day.

sometimes natural gas is close to the surface normally

If I was going to light my tap water on fire and broadcast it for all
the world to see, I would have done my dishes first or at least taken
them out of the sink.

This film crew obviously has no clue about production values.

Well they have the fancy single appliance that both washes and dries
clothes. Why not just wash and rinse dishes in the sink, drain then light
to dry?

I thought it added credibility in that all the visual elements were
consistent with each other.

Huh? If you mean that both sinks had dirty dishes in them, then I
guess you're right.

I would have to figure out a way to store and use the natural gas. I
wonder how much of the gas bubbles up past the pump? I'd like to see
the well cap off and remotely light it there.

That's spooky. And not that far from here. Hour and a half
drive.

My farts burn, I wonder if I could collect and use them for fuel?

With carb adjustments, you can get up to 40 MPG in a
fartmobile. You can get up to 55 FPH on the fartometer.
Never have to stop at a gas station. Just dine at "eat here,
get gas" and you're all set.

I remember the odd even license plate rationing. What a
pain. I've heard it was artificial shortage. There was, and
is, plenty of oil.

Yes, the rag-heads were pitching a tantrum, they took their oil
and went home. This went on during 73-74 if I remember right
and after almost four decades we don't have oil independence?
There are a number of reasons why (I can't name them all) but
some of them have to do with interference by tree huggers and
a lot of onerous regulations by government plus prohibitions
against drilling for oil in a lot of places. We have the oil
in our own territory but can't get to it. Asinine government
policies and actions by complete morons continue to this day.
Your chosen deity only knows why.

"I've heard it was artificial shortage."

I won't debate whether or not the actual shortage was artificial, but
I know for a fact that those "Out Of Gas" signs that stations put up -
****ing off the people in the 50 cars that were in line - were
sometimes less than truthful.

One Friday night, around 11PM, during the odd-even, $5 max period, my
girlfriend and I were in line for gas. We were about 10 cars from the
pump when her car ran out of gas. We pushed the little sh*t-box along,
moving up in line.

When we were about 3 cars from the pump, the kid from the station put
his beat up Out-Of-Gas sign out by the road and started waving people
off the line. I almost went ballistic, asking the guy what we were
supposed to do since we were stranded.

He quietly said "Wait until everyone else is gone and I turn off the
lights, then push the car up to the pump."

I did as I was told and he came over and said "How much do you want?"

"Ummm...Fill it up?" I said.

"Sure. No problem." he said, as he started pumping.

I asked him about the Out-Of-Gas sign he just put out.

He said: "It's 11:00 on a Friday night. You and your girlfriend are
going out, right? Well, I want to go out with my girlfriend too. If I
stayed open, there would be people on line until 2 in the morning.
That Out-Of-Gas sign is the only way I can close up and go have some
fun. Who's going to question a sign like that these days?"

During the odd even days I was driving a huge plymouth Fury III, I think
it was a 1969, and 8 mpg. Anyway, I'd pull up to the pump with the
front end facing the store window. I'd go inside and tell them I wanted
5 or 10 gallons and that it was for the lawn mower and I had gas cans in
the trunk. OK, no problem! I'd pay then go out, open the trunk,.......
then fold down the spring loaded license plate and there was the fuel
fill cap. I'd pump the gas into the car, (since I had no gas cans)
close the trunk and leave.

I don't recall any self serve pumps during the odd-even, $5 max days.

At least not in the parts of NYC where I grew up.

When otherwise intelligent people do what looks like stupid
things. There is a hidden agenda. The only thing I can
figure, there are a lot of elected reps who are really
socialists. Like you say, with the tree huggers, we're not
permitted to drill our own oil, if it involves drilling,
over land, or over water.

In PA there was lots of them, even more now.
