Fracking
The left played upon a scare tactic that Fracking cause your water to become flammable and polluted and other myths like that. To quote a geologist, "It defies the laws of physics for fracks to propagate vertically back up through miles of rock and enter the water table". E.g. those that claim is is a source of ground water pollution, don't understand physics or geology. Minor earthquakes are possible, but this is relieving pressure that could have caused much bigger earthquakes -- so is a net win.
The point is if you have to lie for your cause, then you must not have a very good cause. E.g. the majority of claims of water contamination have been discredited -- I don't know of the exact number, but I've seen literally dozens of claims, I've never seen one confirmed. I'm sure there's got to be one, just seems highly implausible.
HBO did a couple of documentaries (Garland and Gasland II) on the FakeScience of fracking hurting things to scare the gullible lefties who watched:
