We do not know what the incidence of methane in the water was in those wells before the gas companies started fracking.
What is the probability that people previously failed to notice flammable water?

It's too late for Alderaan.
Well, I sure hope all this takes place LONG after I'm old and dead. I happen to love driving my cars and motorcycles. Firing it up, cranking on the tunes and putting the hammer down on the road.
Cayenne you are too intelligent not to realize that lowering the demand for petroleum will only serve to make hig HP low efficiency engines less expensive to operate.
For nearly 20 years, no other motorized wheel chair manufacturer has provided more Medicare-reimbursed power wheelchairs directly to their customers than Hoveround. There are no “middle-men” involved. If you pre-qualify, Medicare may cover 80 percent of the cost of your Hoveround wheelchair, and your supplemental insurance may cover the remaining 20 percent. In fact, 9 out of 10 Hoveround owners received their HOVEROUND power wheelchair at little or no cost.
The entire business model is selling a product in such a way as to cost the customer little to nothing to buy,and billing the rest to the taxpayer. All the taxes/profits are privatized. That is Corporatism in action.
You have several options.
1) Get a real internet Service provider.
If only that were an option for most of America. Even in NYC we have only two choices and this is the most densely populated place in the country. Choice and ISP are mutually exclusive concepts.
OK, but suppose your dad isn't a writer, he's a carpenter. And suppose he builds himself a fabulous house, with his own hands. Every nail he hammers himself. This is an awesome house. And then he dies. By your logic, should your mom, you, and the rest of his offspring be allowed to live in a house that they had nothing to do with? Not only that, but your dad didn't even wholly invent the work himself -- the house sits on land, which was here long before your dad ever was. It gets power, water, and sewer from the city services -- so the house is kind of public property, really. It was OK for your dad to live in it for a while why he was alive, but when there are homeless people on the streets, why shouldn't you have to work to put a roof over your own head, the way your dad did?
The family should get to keep the house, but other people should also be able to make houses like it without paying rights to the family. Imagine if you had to pay IP rights on every piece of technology you buy. Rights on the design of your socks, rights on the concept of socks, rights to the ancestors of the inventor of the zipper, etc etc etc. Obvious IP rights need to have a expiration date. The question is: how long should that last? The answer is: Get a job.
It is to your benefit to pirate rather than deal with DRM nightmares. And corporate America is more focused on punishing their customers than trying to attract new ones
About 20% of the Blue Ray disks I get from Netflix don't work on my PC because of DRM. Not much better then pirated files. In fact TPB is what I use to so that I can still watch the movie I paid Netflix for.
