you got me LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Two natural gas companies agreed Friday to temporarily cease operations of injection wells in an area of central Arkansas that has seen more than 800 earthquakes during the past six months. Shane Khoury, deputy director and general counsel for the commission, said Arkansas Geological Survey researchers had found enough evidence to request an immediate shutdown of the two well locations. He added that the emergency order would not affect the five other injection wells currently operating in that region. “We believe preliminary data from the moratorium study shows a potential connection between injection operations and earthquakes at one or both of those wells,“ he said. http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2011/03/two_natural_gas_companies_to_s.html

I would have told them to go pound sand.

Injection wells are not the same as fracking. Do educate yourself on the specifics, please, before going off all half-assed and whole-stupid on this subject.
