Fracking Gas Fields and National Aquifers
One might believe that a federal investigation of the effect on fracking natural gas fields and chemicals used in the process should be made to learn the effects such fracturing of rock and release of natural gas as well as chemicals used in the process may have upon U.S. underground aquifers in the future.
Some natural gas fields are vast. I believe one extends from the Texas panhandle the Nebraska and beyond. Recovering remaining gas with new field fracking techniques are motivated by profit and somewhat unconcerned about present or long range deleterious contaminating impact upon drinking and irrigation water supply quality from underground. Water is more important the natural gas for human survival.

It may be reasonably said that ‘technology corrupts, and absolutely technology corrupts absolutely’. Without being Luddites, and recognizing the good and comfortable things technology brings to human society, we may also recognize that the capacity for evil and treachery amplified with technology evolves to a biological evolution eradicating social fact while simultaneously making any biological life beside those in most absolute power phenomenological rather than necessary. Technology makes warriors and covert killers of civilians and militaries phenomenological economic expressions of deeper technological powers. The infusion of fracking chemicals into the nation’s pure unpolluted underground aquifers is a deep threat to cheap healthy water availability.
The Federal government should, if it hasn’t already, make a comprehensive study of the overlapping of aquifers with gas fields as well as the future migration of underground water, gas or fracking chemicals. Of course all chemicals injected into underground gas fields should be publicly disclosed. No private interest should have any right to significantly alter the integrity of any portion of public land or air without complete disclosure to the public of the quantitative and qualitative data. Destruction of the natural integrity and quality of even the underground can have lasting deleterious consequences to national interest-even to the interests of future users of the minerals and potential of the underground. If fracking chemicals contact future geothermal drilling processes or instances, one might wonder f the vaporized drilling chemicals used in prior fracking processes would still have an effect, if they would be explosive or toxic and so forth released into the world above heated and vaporized.
