Have you all seen the HAARP videos on YOUTUBE? Technology that finds minerals underground causes earthquakes-the question is to what degree and how to prove which earthquakes are caused by it. One oilman said he drilled 41 productive wells using this electromagnetic wave technology-and it can even be used to destroy enemy countries, terrorism, etc. Oh Lord help us all if this is true.
The ground is constantly shaking beneath us. Earthquakes happen and have always happened; however, technology is better.
Earthworks has a plan to demonize the oil and gas industry, recruit victims to testify until the federal government has complete regulatory control over dirty oil.
Blaming earthquakes on oil and gas exploration reveals how many lies will be told to push a very far left agenda supported by the Obama administration.
The far left ideology will complete the destruction of capitalism.
Your comment is hysterical.
The connection between earthquakes and drilling is well established. Industry needs to address that issue and make sure precautions are in place.
Yes, that is all we ask-not that the industry be attacked with lies! We must see both sides here and find a safe, middle ground.
Yes, that is all we ask-not that the industry be attacked with lies! We must see both sides here and respect both capitalism and people's health and property.
Suddenly there are a whole lot of earthquakes in OK in an area of heavy drilling. If there is a connection, then we need to know about it so safety measure can be taken.

JUST CRAZY
Blaming earthquakes on oil and gas exploration reveals how many lies will be told to push a very far left agenda supported by the Obama administration.
The idea that human activity can cause seismic activity is widely accepted in the scientific community. A 2000 paper (BEFORE OBAMA) in the journal Oilfield Review—published by the oilfield services giant Schlumberger Ltd.—noted that the connection between oil production and earthquakes dates back to at least the 1920s, when geologists in South Texas noted faulting near the Goose Creek oil field.

JUST CRAZY, you should turn off FOX news
Ugh, enough with the "fox news", breathing healthy air is political label neutral.
Has any stopped to think maybe the earthquakes in OK are the result of new activity along the New Madrid Fault Line? A major earthquake occurs along the New Madrid every 200 years. Given the last major quake happened in 1811, we are due for a big one soon. The quake in 1811 actually caused church bells to ring as far away as Toronto, Canada! Given major population growth has taken place in the Midwest since 1811, the next major quake will have a catastrophic toll on the American heartland. Gas drilling will be the last thing on anyone's mind when the next big one hits. Stay tuned.
