And yes, I do ultimately think it's about fracking, even though that's just a hunch of mine, no proof.

I meant your later quote indicated that you think that this particular issue is about fracking, not that fracking causes flammable water. Perhaps I misunderstood your post.
I'm aware that you and others think that fracking commonly leads to flammable water. I've seen some of the videos you describe.
While I agree that it is a risk, I think it can be managed with appropriate steps and thoughtful geological analysis. There are some areas that probably shouldn't be fracked because the risk is too high. However, I also think the flammable water effect less common than you think it is, and the videos rely on simplistic reasoning to reach their conclusion. Also, I think that fotze's (and others) earlier posts about other contributing factors (e.g. natural gas migration, crappy water wells, etc.) should be considered.
