Three unusual earthquakes that shook a suburb west of Dallas over the weekend appear to be connected to the past disposal of wastewater from local hydraulic fracturing operations, a geophysicist who has studied earthquakes in the region says.
LMFAO! So the earthquakes began, the fracturing stopped, and then the earthquakes stopped... Gotta love these low info writers who have no idea how the process of fracturing works, and how long it's been around...

Bunch of nonsense. There is no evidence fracking has anything to do with this. The earth is constantly shifting. The entire New Madrid fault system has become active again. There are earthquakes occurring from Oklahoma to South Carolina.
The wastewater theory is also flawed considering waste water reservoirs have been around long before fracking wells.
Perhaps it's just a coincidence then. I don't know. I'm not a Geologist or Seismologist.
They certainly seem to think that it has something to do with it.
It's absolutely a coincidence because fracturing doesn't cause earthquakes. We fracked 3 and 4 wells per week for 5 years over in south Ruston, La and there has been no sign of quakes there. We've had a segment of casing explode 10,500 feet into the earth with almost 17,000 psi pumping through it, still nothing... Don't buy into the "frac causes eathquakes" scheme unless you want to be laughed at...

What experts? Like the seismologists in Oklahoma?

Oh well that settles it. Kinda like the ones in the Huffington Post article that started this liberal fantasy.
