“Geologists aren't sure exactly how fracking is causing the earthquakes, but say it doesn't take much to trigger one.”

In other words, even in a government of unprecedented political speculation these government employees had no idea whatsoever how fracking could possibly cause an earthquake. These are not scientists doing real research. These are federal government employees following the political direction of the Obama Administration.

A study was done in the Williston Basin, using three parallel horizontal wells and a host of vertical ones. The vertical wells and the outside two horizontal wells were loaded with instrumentation strings to determine the effects of the frac job done in the middle horizontal well.

The data is out there as to just what effects are felt and where from the frac, horizontally and vertically those effects occur.

They could produce that data, and frankly, all else is speculation or BS.
