“Well, we need water," Miller said. "We don’t really care what the source is as long as it’s good, clean water that we can grow crops with. Fracking water would be fine."
Miller said the goal won't be just to treat the water, but to fully remove harmful substances like heavy metals to ensure it's clean and safe. He added that there are methods to achieve that, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality would be responsible for regulating the process.
Technically true -- clean water is clean water -- the relevant conundrum is if you trust the people who clean it and those who make sure it is clean.

Time and time again history is replete with examples where that trust has been repeatedly misplaced and abused. There can be no trust with centralized structures.
