A dozen earthquakes in northeastern Ohio were almost certainly induced by injection of gas-drilling wastewater into the earth, Ohio oil and gas regulators said Friday as they announced a series of tough new regulations for drillers...

The article does get around to properly stating the issue.
"In fact, all the evidence indicates that properly located
injection wells will not cause earthquakes."

If oil wells create earthquakes what about all the water wells in this country? Should they be banned? Japan must be doing one hell of a lot of fracking.

Glock, can you post your earthquake tracking map so the good people here can have good defense to this BS?

I just read a post about the Sun is causing all the earthquakes. The sun spots activities is have an effect on earth magnetic field and earths core.

I used to live in the mountains of Virginia, about 60 miles from the West Virginia border. The house was built in 1909. The dining room was two inches off level because of an earth quake in the 1920s. I wonder what caused that earth quake?

This reminds me of Voltaire's Candide where the Grand Inquisitor blamed the great Lisbon earthquake of 1715 on the Inquisition's failure to burn enough heretics.

Great points. I live next store in Pittsburgh and have for the last 50+ years always heard of these tremors in NE Ohio, and some folks I know here have claimed to have felt them here in SW PA. I don't doubt them, but I never once felt anything.
Point is that an minor tremor in NE Ohio is not at all unusual. I can recall dozens being reported over the years. There are well known fault lines running underneath Lake Erie and it would not be surprising if they ran as far south as Youngstown --- only about 40 miles South.
This is the eco-commies just looking for another reason to strangle the economy by shutting down the energy supply.
Our bureaucracies at the State, Local and Federal levels have been fully stocked with leftists more than willing to use government power to "save the earth' from imaginary threats, even if it destroys the people they are supposed to serve.
To them, truth means nothing. Science means nothing. Ideology is everything! (Well.... ideology plus their fat cat government pensions.)

Thank you sir. Hopefully a few more will download it and we’ll gather more of an army against this absurdity.
Probably not, but it sounds good anyway eh?
