I dunno. I do know civil engineering though. Concrete cassions whilst strong are not invincible. If fracking does cause minor earth tremors then those cassions couldn't handle that stress and would fracture and leak. I am sure any civils bods would agree.

Even if fracking wasn't any more harmful than other methods of fossil fuel extraction, it's still bad because we should be trying to curb fossil fuel consumption, not encourage it.
The fracking process, and the methods of transporting and refining the gas, leads to large amounts of methane leaking into the atmosphere. Methane is many times more potent as a greenhouse gas than CO2.

They believe global warming too so fuck that.

It's you who don't belong here unless you prove it to be true right now. Any further post you make that doesn't prove AGV will be stamped as shitposting.

I mean, if you like drinking clean water it is. Texas (and I think PA too) actually re starting to need to import drinking water, lol.

Fracking ruins land, ruins underground drinking water, causes earthquakes, and probably a lot of other stuff I don't give a shit about.

Stop replying to climate change deniers. Just stop. Ignore them. They cannot be reasoned with. You will never change their mind.

Latest was a 5.1 in Oklahoma in February and its largest was a 5.6 in 2011. It is now the hot zone for the most quakes in the USA.
