Either this is bad reporting or these scientists are idiots.
Spending our tax money without a plan.
Ready, Shoot, ummmm Aim.
Well for one thing, they didn't know the precise soil and rock types in the hole at various depths until AFTER the hole was drilled - and that affects what instruments you put where.
Really, I mean....what is up with the rabid hatred of and contempt for scientists on FR? I mean the desperate search for any way to take potshots at ANY scientist, even when they're not doing or saying anything having to do with politics, amazes me.
Spending our tax money was the whole point of the program. There is no proven value in this "science". We have no tools that will prevent earthquakes. Of course, someone should calculate the amount of global warming gases and particular pollutant that was caused by the drilling. There is another study worthy of our tax dollars.
