ping - USGS and Oklahoma GS seems to be pointing a finger at injection as a cause in the increase in tremors...
Could the OK Earthquakes be related to THIS:

It’s from to many liberals moving into those areas....
Frack!
Still no mention of the Humboldt Fault Zone that lies underneath all this activity. You would think that would be a major part of the story but I guess attacking fracking fills a political narrative, whether there is something to it or not.

“The analysis suggests that a likely contributing factor to the increase in earthquakes is triggering by wastewater injected into deep geologic formations. This phenomenon is known as injection-induced seismicity, which has been documented for nearly half a century, with new cases identified recently in Arkansas, Ohio, Texas and Colorado. A recent publication by the USGS suggests that a magnitude 5.0 foreshock to the 2011 Prague, Okla., earthquake was human-induced by fluid injection; that earthquake may have then triggered the mainshock and its aftershocks. OGS studies also indicate that some of the earthquakes in Oklahoma are due to fluid injection. The OGS and USGS continue to study the Prague earthquake sequence in relation to nearby injection activities.”
Not from a place where fraking is done. Why is the injection of water thru fraking *not* the possible cause of increased seismic activity?
Smells like BS, to drum up anti-fracking hysteria.
