"FRACKING", is the process by which oil and several different types of natural gas are mined by injecting high pressure fluid, sometimes water, into the ground to break up rock and force the oil and gas to the surface; most people have heard about it. "Fracking" is short for "hydraulic fracturing."
It was invented shortly after world war two, but exploded in pupulairty in the late nineteen nineties when new technology and fracking techniques made it extremely effective, in terms of efficiency. Fracking combined with recently discoverd huge fields of natural gas have greatly stimulated the natural gas industry.
Big energy companies are wanting to use hydraulic fracturing wherever natural gas deposits are located, no matter where they are located, no matter beneath whose house. State legislatures and congress are conspicuously unwilling to enact definite, comprehensive legaslation regulating the industry, almost as if the politicians were in the pockets of the corporations.
Resolving the conflict between private property rights and corporate mineral rights may well be left to the court system, and the court system, like the legislative system, is in the pockets of the corporation, or so rumor has it. Something like "eminent domain" may emerge, in which corporations have the right to look for and harvest natural gas wherever they wish, as long as they pay market value for the property.
In america, corporate power prevails against the rights of the individual citizen, always has, and likely always will. If you awaken someday to find a drilling rig in your back yard, and a lawyer at your front door, don't say you haven't been warned.
