Pushing compressed liquids into the earth to get others out causing quakes!

The study found that the frequency of earthquakes started rising in 2001 across a broad swath of the country between Alabama and Montana. In 2009, there were 50 earthquakes greater than magnitude-3.0, the abstract states, then 87 quakes in 2010. The 134 earthquakes in the zone last year is a sixfold increase over 20th century levels.

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

OOOH! OOOH I GOT THIS ONE! You take data and analyze it!

Alabama to Montana and in between. This enema couldn't happen to a better place.

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.

The article actually addresses this.

You misrepresented the research in the title, Westnob.

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

Yeah, this is true.

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.

The mother of all vibrators.
