More than half of the wastewater injection wells being used by frackers in the state are within 10 miles of a recently active fault.
The data from Ohio is quite concerning. Not being a tectonic expert, I am not sure of their data. But in quick overview, the stories that started emanating from the Buckeye State about two years ago certainly seem to suggest that messing with injection wells to the magnitude that modern dense tracking operations do is not a great idea.
But no need to worry. We here in California NEVER have earthquakes.
