No kidding! Maybe because much of China's population can't afford nor has access to things that cause pollution due to endemic poverty? That's NOT progress, although many liberals here would LOVE to see that. If you're poor, you can't afford to drive or own cars, heat or cool your home, travel, ect. What a fantastic solution for the greenies.
So you would rather make an argument against it than to simply admit the rise in fracking parallels with the rise in earthquakes in what is generally not earthquake area? Flat Earther! LOL! Seriously, there is no debate here, but you are trying to tell me in 2009 they didn't notice the same sort of tremors they did in 2011? Now you are trying to convince an Eskimo to buy snow. I never claimed there were NO earthquakes in Texas, just to be clear, but there are some geological locations where they had not been recorded before. Fracking moves in, the numbers go up, it's simple data, nothing to argue with, unless you get paid by the fracking companies to do so? Just saying.
Texas is swarming with quakes and always have. Oklahoma too. Swarms of quakes occured in the same areas....before fracking was a thought in someones head. You have a mob mentality. Look at some objective evidence for a change. Google a map of earthquakes over the last century and you will find very few places without quakes occuring. And you will see periods of a few years with constant quakes and then nothing. And those....were ones that were felt!.. The earthquakes you are quivering about-----no one is feeling! They are recorded by new technology. Call me flat earth, I don't care. I don't listen to hyped crap---I will call you a lemming.
Yeah you want less pollution then sell your Prius and your iPad, go live in the woods and build houses out of mud.
