So do I have this right? In a locale that is marking the [centenary](file:///Users/mckinndj/Downloads/Methane%20gas%20in%20water%20bores_Final_Report_281014.pdf) of methane being found frequently in water-wells and natural seeps, a politician went to a seep that has been known about for 30 to 40 years (but recently is more active, and that activity directly relates in time to the replenishment of the aquifer) and lit it on fire.
This is supposed to demonstrate that the nonexistent recent activities nearby dormant coal-seam-gas extraction site are the true cause of the seep activity, and not the water-supply changes; and this is somehow related to fracking even though fracking was never used at the site?
It reminds me of Gasland. I don’t think these sort of theatrics really help, they just give ammunition to the other side.
