Typically not by injecting toxic carcinogens into the ground to do so, like we do with fracking.

Also I’ve not heard of any strip mining activities that turn a town’s only water supply into something that’s flammable, but I perhaps missed that?

Or the ongoing incidents of child and adult cancer caused by this itty bitty little toxic waste issue.

No need to flat out lie in order to make a point.

Unless you want to honestly double down on the "I am so ignorant that I honestly believe mines do not contaminate surrounding areas" card you should take off for the day, rest up, and try again tomorrow bud.
