Here's a FB post from Robert Reich:
Multiple earthquakes shook parts of Oklahoma this morning.
Before 2008, there were only one to two earthquakes of magnitude three or greater each year in the state. So far this year, they’re averaging two per day.*
Yesterday the U.S. Geological Survey released the first comprehensive maps pinpointing 17 areas in eight central and eastern states that have been jolted by quakes. (Future research will incorporate data from the western states as well). Researchers said the quakes were triggered by the injection of wastewater deep underground, which can activate dormant faults – in other words, fracking. “These earthquakes are occurring at a higher rate than ever before and pose a much greater risk to people living nearby.”*
How long will it take before fracking is banned in America?
