Yeah sure.
I wonder why there are still 25 counties in central and southern Arky that are still being frac'd.
The drilling that is going on is more in north central hills and the southern flat lands. Both are outside of the sandstone foundation where the quakes were happening.
That doesn't fly either. Our active fault lines(or the one that have been active recently) are no where near a fracking well. In fact, there isn't a well within 70 miles of the fault.

Have expected BO to seek a few billion for that for several years now.
LOL I saw a guy suggest that people in Socal should build huge water cannons right off the coast that would shoot water up to a hundred miles inland as a way to combat wildfires.

Well good for you. I don't know what the hell your talking about. I didn't mention anything about Oklahoma. I mentioned Arkansas and yes, I do believe that forcing water into sandstone will create problems. Like minor earthquakes.

You just got done telling us that there is no more fracking in Arkansas. Then you backtracked and said it wasn't being done in certain part of Arkansas. Then you said the earthquakes stopped when fracking stopped. Arkansas had an earthquake 2 days ago and 10 in the last month.

So what's crackin pal?
Arkansas is right next door and along the same fault lines. What happens here is connected to what happens over there.

RE: Fracking and Earthquakes
Had a patient a few years back, he had retired from running the University of Memphis Earthquake center but still assisted in studies. He had a degree list a mile long from all over. He actually designed the seismographs that NASA planted on the moon and that are still their today. Guess what else he help develop? Yep...A lot of the current fracking technology. Talked to him for about an hour on this very topic. He said it's it's pretty ludicrous to associate the two.
