Study ties fracking to another type of shaking

New research confirms fracking causes slow, small earthquakes or tremors, whose origin was previously a mystery to scientists. The tremors are produced by the same processes that could create large, damaging earthquakes.

@David_Kelly_SF well that's not surprising at all but hey

@David_Kelly_SF

Years of denial damned common sense analysis. Other contaminations apply too.

@Wrap02 I agree, and now they have proof
@David_Kelly_SF intuitively this seemed a no brainer.
@GeorgiaOnMyMind True, a lot of science is about confirming ideas that seem somewhat obvious, but also about determining the scale of what is being studied - essentially measuring the problem.
@David_Kelly_SF One of those "The companies doing it probably knew this but are keeping that research internal" things
@thibaultmol I'm sure you're 100% correct
