So I was reading the paper this morning and it seems folks
out in Texas and Oklahoma are wondering if the fracking industry
has anything to do with all the earthquakes their respective states are suddenly experiencing?
Hummm.......?
I mean you don't think pumping 281,000 gallons, ie; 94 tanker truckloads,
of "wastewater"(?) PER DAY into the ground at just one well site
would have any effect on the ground would you?

Oklahoma experienced "two" 3.0 magnitude quakes from 1978 to 2008.
The state experienced 145 quakes of 3.0 magnitude or greater in just the first 4 months of this year.

North Texas has had 70 earthquakes since 2008 compared to a single, (1), in 1950, reported in the region before 2008.

Teams of researchers are researching whether there is any correlation
between fracking and the sudden increase in seismic activity.

It's a good thing we are getting some gas out of the deal
otherwise all these companies would be getting rid of all their
" too-toxic-to-tell-you-what-it-is" waste for nothing.

I'm sure glad our state reps are smart enough to realize
we don't need NO Fracking in NC!!!

Agreed, Dan! Fracking in NC is idiotic.
The oil and gas companies are so sure that fracking in NC would be unprofitable
that NC is now the first state in history to pay for the exploratory drilling for them.
We're paying for it!
