It is now official that fracking is to blame for the eleven earthquakes in Ohio. This will be a growing problem as fracking is done all over the country in an attempt to be energy independent.
I think alternative renewable energy should be our first choice. Other countries are way ahead of us in this area.
State Representative Robert Hagan has . . . called for a statewide moratorium on injection drilling until 2014. The Youngstown City Council voted Wednesday to support his proposal.
'I'm tired of these discussions happening in secret,' Mr Hagan said.
'People have a right to know what's going on, what's being done.'
I agree. It's crazy, the sun keeps bombarding our planet with obscene amounts of energy day after day. But instead of focusing on that and other green energy, we keep digging and drilling in the dirt
On this topic most people are not very knowledgeable and I certainly don't profess to be. But a very familiar political stench is in the air.
I guess as the "global warming" hoax fades from headlines, a new replacement villain is needed in the quest to insure that the raw evil of modern energy consumption remains self-evident.
These earthquakes in the fracking regions of Ohio and Arkansas are probably more than coincidence.
Arkansas will keep on drilling for all the money that has come in to the state even with the mild quakes. I imagine Ohio and Penn. will shut down the drilling completely.
