    For Whoever was trying to argue that fracking doesn’t cause earthquakes before
    Here’s some reading for you

    Fact is
    One of the largest man made earthquake in history happened yesterday in Midland, TX

    104ED3AC-1049-4362-B3C2-184F704D7B18.jpeg Common sense ?
    Permian basin should be one of the most stable places in the world

    here’s satellite view of 100 fracking pads surrounding the site

    Thats not how geology works

    Simply because its got relatively thick rock deposits doesnt make it more or less stable than anywhere else.

    It IS plausible that fracking contributed to or caused the quake, but your supposed evidence is not evidence.

    Counterpoint. Fault lines feature some exceptionally thick rock, frequently called mountains, this does not make them impervious to quakes

    The mountains are literally made because there’s a fault line there. In know Seismic zones with volcanos

    where’s the fault line in midland?
    Yeah earthquakes can happen anywhere,
    But somewhere like midland, tx they should be very rare yet they continue to happen
