So now we can fracture gas laden rock and get the gas out,YaY! Inject some High pressure steam, and voila' the stuff comes right out.Next is what happens with the waste water, they re-inject it as water at low pressure, sounds good right?
Now they say that it's causing Quakes in Arkansas! (I call Bullshit)they are saying that the water lubricates the faults, causing Quakes. I'm not a Seismologist(though I play one on T.V.)but unless the water goes down several miles, I don't see it having an effect on Faults.Read the paragraph below,Lack Of Warning?
"The central Arkansas town of Greenbrier had been plagued for months by hundreds of small earthquakes, and after being woken up by the largest quake to hit the state in 35 years, residents said Monday they're unsettled by the increasing severity and lack of warning."
"The U.S. Geological Survey recorded the 4.7-magnitude quake at 11 p.m. Sunday, centered just northeast of Greenbrier, about 40 miles north of Little Rock. It was the largest of more than 800 quakes to strike the area since September in what is now being called the Guy-Greenbrier earthquake swarm."
