Quakin' in our boots
Study links natural gas drilling in Texas to swarm of quakes
The sniveling leftoids are going over the rails about this idiotic "study" -- which is no surprise, considering their penchant for willful ignorance.
Is fracking causing minor geological shifts in the crust? Absolutely. That's the entire point, in fact. But these "quakes" which the hair-on-fire types are screeching about are magnitude 2. The Richter scale is calibrated to log10. You want to know what a magnitude 2 quake feels like? Pick up a pen off your desk and drop it on the floor next to you. It's undetectable without using the most sensitive of instruments.
Additionally, as the crying class is eagerly pointing out, the areas in question have been seismically inactive (what's referred to as a "zero zone" in construction) for millions of years. Fracking isn't going to trigger a destructive earthquake. These so-called "quakes" resulting from fracking will have exactly as much impact on planetary stability as that pen you just dropped on the floor. You should pick that up, by the way.
Yet again we see a clear demonstration of the Left's habit of turning science into quasi-religion: shout the dogma while ignoring the inconvenient facts.
