Biden blamed earthquakes on the extraction of natural gas by fracking. Industry analysts immediately panned Mr. Biden’s remarks — which are backed by no evidence — about the hydraulic fracturing method that uses water, sand and chemicals to crack underground rock and release vast amounts of fuel. (Snip) But state officials have confirmed that the temblors were the result of a wastewater-disposal well, not fracking itself.

WTF is Biden talking about? Are they using A-bombs to extract oil?

“Everyone knows that the big quake that destroyed San Francisco back in 1609 was caused by fracking.”

“Everyone knows that the big quake that destroyed San Francisco back in 1609 was caused by fracking.”

Joe got his words mixed up (again for the 1,234,678 time)
He meant that other word that starts with F and also ends in ing.
It does cause earthquakes especially when the wife catches you with her best friend doing it. . . . Yes I know from experience. . . . .

If earthquakes are caused by fracking, then yesterdays tornado's in Dallas must be caused by wind farms.

No wind farms are liberal entities. The tornadoes were caused by Jet engines.

I think the earthquakes are probably caused by the change in pressure from the air rushing out of the world into the endless vacuum inside Biden’s skull.

Hey Joe....Opinions and hemorrhoids have one thing in common….every asshole has one.

Joe is not one of those who in expressing opinions confine themselves to facts.
