Earthquakes in Western Canada blamed on fracking - UPI.com
UPI reports: "New research suggests hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, is inducing
earthquakes in Western Canada.
Though alarming, the correlation isn't new. Several studies have linked
gas and oil operations in the Plains states to a rise in the frequency
of earthquakes."
Comment: I wonder if this earthquake danger is decreasing due to the changing economics of the oil industry? The price of oil is so low now that fracking is quickly losing economic viability.
