No Fracking Ireland via Oliver Swingler #NFI: Scientific evidence links the use of #Fracking wastewater injection wells to #Earthquakes: “We conclude that the recent earthquakes in Youngstown, Ohio were induced by the fluid injection at a deep injection well due to increased pore pressure along the preexisting subsurface faults located close to the wellbore,” Kim wrote in the paper. The discovery builds on a growing body of scientific evidence linking the use of fracking wastewater injection wells to earthquakes. That includes a string of quakes in central Oklahoma in late 2011, including the most powerful ever recorded in the state, a frightening magnitude 5.7. ----------------------------------------------- grist.org/news/fracking-triggered-more-than-100-earthquakes-in-ohio/
