    Looks like the enviro-whackadoos have found a new way to attack the oil and gas industry. :MARIS61:

    Exactly how do you prove the cause of these quakes? LOL

    Ya know, the funny thing is that we have been doing (pumping water into drilled holes) for as long as we have been drilling. So now, its an issue....oh, ok.

    You misrepresented the research in the title, Westnob.

    The USGS have found correlation between fracking and earthquakes but have not proved causation.

    Yes, this is what I posted. Fracking isn't a new thing, either.

    It seems likely to me that earthquakes are causing fracking. The low frequency vibrations from an earthquake make a man want to pump fluids into all the holes in mother earth.
