Here is the background next week I am going to be in vegas for a conference and we need to have a drink called the "Frac Fluid".
What is frac fluid? It is the stuff they pump into the earth to help push natural gas to the surface.
Here is an image of the actual fluid.

However, the reason we are interested in it is it has a interesting side effect. Sometimes, the process of releasing natural gas allows a certain amount of the natural gas to get into well water. This leads to a very photogenic display of "burning water faucet"
Here is a Youtube of a local news story if you need inspiration
