investigate the link between natural gas/oil/etc fracking and earthquakes before we get swallowed up by mother earth.

Geologists in Ohio have now linked seismic activity in a geologic formation within the Appalachian Mountains to fracking. The Associated Press reported that, due to these findings, Ohio began implementing issuing new, far stricter permit conditions on Friday. These new conditions are among the nation’s strictest on fracking. The permit conditions were implemented after the state geological investigation of five small quakes in the Appalachian foothills found that fracking the Utica Shale probably increased pressure on a previously undiscovered fault. State Oil & Gas Chief Rick Simmers called the fracking and quake link “probable.”
