I was born in Baker Montana, the badlands of Montana right on the boarder with ND. That was 1970 and many locals had the problem of getting good water wells that didn't have so much methane you could light the water from the tap on fire. Fracking wasn't used then. The wells don't contain methane because fracking is nearby, there is fracking nearby because the wells contain methane naturally. The water has always been terrible in Fallon county Montana, why they had to give away double sized homesteads. The only reason there are towns there is the new railroad that came through needed a water stop every 20 miles or so. The railroad also needed passengers and cargo so why not throw up a fake town there as well? Then publish "free land" ads and articles in papers all over Europe. Almost every single one failed but not before filling a small family graveyard on each section. Had they made it to today they would be millionaires instead of the massive cattle ranches that bought them out being billionaires. Now it's no problem getting good drinking water in Fallon county, they never had that before fracking, go figure.
