    Really? Fracking is not causing earth quakes. It just isn't.

    Fracking isn't but disposal wells are?

    :lol: ok

    So there have been a handful of studies that may link disposal wells with earthquakes. Guess what? There is also an arms race to develop efficient technology to re-use or recycle frack water. I've worked on projects with these companies doing field parameter tests. It's close. Real close.

    I didn't say that either... I was asking you... Or at least your opinion, which I assume is no also.

    I certainly have no definitive answer. I am not anti-energy industry. It feeds my family and many friends.

    I do think it is short-sided and irresponsible for the industry to deny ANY effect.

    I think humans give themselves more credit than these deserve sometimes.

    I think someone here has actually done fracking on there land, I believe they have had no issues.

    Had some done a few miles down the road, took them a year to set up. Capped before the trucks starting rolling in, so either they didn't find what they were looking for or they are saving it for a rainy day.
