a lot of companies are already doing this voluntarily. If you are interested in any areas being developed near you go to Fracfocus.org . They list fracking sites state by state along with each states regulations as well as the chemicals the wells near you are using.
Frackin' fracking... Water is the new liquid gold in Texas 6/18/2011 - Oil companies that need water for "fracking" wells compete for access
Fracking sure uses a lot of water. Fracking is a 60-year-old method of shattering rocks to unleash oil and natural gas with high-pressure jets of sand- and chemical-infused water. In the past decade, the technique has been refined and coupled with new ways of drilling sideways through oil-rich shale formations, spurring an onshore exploration boom, says Robert Ineson, senior director of global gas at researcher IHS CERA.

Mebbe we could frack our way outta national debt with natural gas... Report: World Gains From US Natural Gas Abundance July 26, 2011 - The development of new drilling operations in shale rock has led to a dramatic increase in U.S. natural gas reserves. While there are some environmental concerns about the practice of fracturing rock deep underground to release gas, drilling operations have expanded from Texas to Pennsylvania, keeping gas prices low as demand increases. A new study says the U.S. natural gas boom also may help ease energy problems in other parts of the world.
Critical year in the debate over fracking safety... Its year for fracking to break up or break through Sunday, January 8, 2012 - The natural gas industry and its opponents are readying their final arguments for what many think will be a critical year in the debate over fracking safety.
Texas, typical. But as described, the water issue will kill this unhealthy fracking tech issue nationwide.
Even the Obama Administrations own EPA study on Fracking made the claim that it was very safe and really doesn't endanger the water tables.
