Check your tap water. Can you do this with it?
Thanks to the magic of a natural gas extraction technique known as hydraulic fracturing, you can now ignite your showerhead. Cool trick, right? Now all we have to do is get used to showering with fire.
The gas companies don't really like it when we call it "fracking", because it lends itself so wonderfully to wordplay.
But seriously, this is a huge fracking deal. What the frack are these companies thinking?
When you find the time, you should watch Gasland, written and directed by Josh Fox.
But if you want a quick overview of fracking, this is a pretty catchy way to learn.
Also, take a look at this map. The red spots are natural gas reserves... and the corporations want them. Even if your home is not in the red zone, think about that lovely water table that we are all basically connected to.
Take it personally.
