Yes, there is a relationship between the fracking and the earthquakes. But it is not direct ... geologists say that it is an effect of the "wastewater injection wells". Fracking takes a lot of water and when the oil and water come back up they have to be separated (not so hard to do) but after that the water is still extremely polluted ... so they have to inject it into deep wells below the aquifer .... but when it reaches a fault it nicely lubricates it and it starts to move. There have been wastewater injection wells for decades because many of the production methods involve water, but not as much as the fracking requires.
I don't know how my friends in Baton Rouge can take it ... first the floods, then the unending clean-up .... and malfunctioning vehicles and now a lot of sickness, including severe mold allergies. One friend's mother had a heart attack and last night her mother-in-law had a bleeding stomach ulcer.
And I'm also hearing from friends and family affected by Hermine on both the Gulf and the Atlantic coasts
Annus horribilus
