Yes. I guess it does. But actually go ask 5 people if instead of pumping water down when they frack instead they pump Nat gas down. The average person assumes that when the explosion occurs there will be sparking and therefore the gas will light and run right up blowing everything up.

I use my Mother-in-law to test these theories. I ask her. Depending on her answer and how upset she gets gives me a gauge on the size on environmental concern and protests.

Note: I don't disapprove of protests, but I do when people are illinformed and react purely to the noise and fail to learn the real issue.
