As it is, people "need" oil, and other natural resources that the USA has grown up on in the past 100 years. It comes to a line where we need to balance out whether it is a good thing to drill for natural gas when that drilling may be causing earthquakes.
The Corrilation between drilling and the earthqaukes seems to be pretty previlant. It seems that everywhere drilling occurs, there are residual earthquakes in the area. This is supported by scientific evidence as well as intuitive evidence. It makes sense, if there are no earthquakes before, and then after drilling there are quakes, quakes are likely causes or at least agitated by the drilling going on.
The other hand is, that these quakes have all been mild and caused little to no damage, and in an economy as shifty an weak as it is right now, it makes one wonder what is the lesser of two evils.
What evidence do you have that shows there is a correlation between drilling and the quakes?
ReplyDeleteIs it your belief that it is worth it to continue drilling?
ReplyDeleteWhat evidence?? This just seems to be a statement of belief without any proof...
