[QUOTE="1krr, post: 2720607, member: 750"] I'm somewhat suffering from the same time problem but I'll summarize that none of the above changes anything about my arguement. If I took a poll of people whose houses have been damaged by earthquakes I'm pretty sure they wouldn't give a 1/4 wad of used toilet paper for the difference between a fracking earthquake and an waste well earthquake. You are trying to spin the frack vs waste well arguement when it doesn't matter. We didn't have waste well earthquakes until we started large scale fracking. You said the volumes of chemicals/water injected in the ground is different. It simply doesn't matter. If you are putting 10 fracking wells worth of waste water into a single waste well, guess what, if you weren't fracking you wouldn't have 10 waste wells to dispose of. So it's smoke and mirrors to say one has nothing to do with another even if it is true that fracking isn't the cause. It's not any harder than this. Don't cause earthquakes. If you think waste wells are causing them, then don't use waste wells. The fact that the industry is using them even when they are trying to shift the blame to them only further illustrates my point that the industry is vastly irresponsble. [/QUOTE]
