Scientists wanted to ameliorate the larger earthquakes in California’s major faults by injecting water. This would lubricate the fault and cause it slip slowly, making many small quakes instead of one gigantic and super destructive quake. But a lot of rich people live on the fault line and since the water injection would be causing quakes they would result in ruinous lawsuits. So, instead of potentially saving cities like San Francisco we’ll have one giant quake that kills thousands and causes billions in damage.
It seems the same is probably happening in Oklahoma. On the other hand, it could be just normal quakes that occur periodically anyway. Given who the hysterical reports are from, Bill Moyers and the like, it’s probably just more anti-oil rhetoric.
GOOD; don’t inject water to cause a lot of very small quakes, let the big one happen and all the fags in San Francisco can suck salt water.
