Perhaps, but when was the last time an oil company ever told the truth about any of the problems it caused?

They don't lie about tremors and they are incapable of earthquakes.


The amount energy between quakes(amplitudes that cause damage) and tremors which shake at far less amplitude (no damage) is staggering. 3.0 compared to 4.0 on a base 10 logarithm is around 32X the intensity.

There is nothing to be alarmed over.

AT ALL

Drilling for Earthquakes
Scientists are increasingly confident about the link between earthquakes and oil and gas production, yet regulators are slow to react...
...Earthquake rates in Oklahoma and Texas have skyrocketed since 2008. The cause, scientists say, is injecting wastewater from oil and gas operations into deep underground wells.
The injections can alter stresses that hold geologic faults together, letting them slip, unleashing an earthquake.

I trump your grade school science with scientific American
nice try though
but sorry
shame about your luck

um...accounting one oh one and international finance are two slightly different things
that's why you quote grade school accounting and I quoted ten TOP economists
I see you did OK up to grade school through...congrats
lol

There is no difference. You create a debit without something to back the credit. Banks don't create money out of thing air. You do. You give proof you are capable of the liability and they back you. Your labour creates the money one pay cheque at a time.

When you fail, they take over your liability.

Deep-well injection
In many regions of the US, including Texas, North Dakota and Montana, deep-well underground injection is a popular method for the disposal of fracking fluids and other substances from shale oil and gas extraction operations. Pennsylvania however, outlawed the use of deep-well injection some time ago.
Fracking companies operating in Pennsylvania, desiring to deep-well inject their wastewater, must have it trucked to Ohio for deposition. This opens another set of potential issues relating to transporting large volumes of wastewater. Municipalities are concerned about the safety of high numbers of trucks traveling on rural roads and through small towns, and the safety implications for local residents. Another consideration is the impact of fleets of heavy trucks traveling on these roads.
To help offset this issue, some local governments in Pennsylvania require fracking companies to post bonds to cover road repair and maintenance. Issues with trucking wastewater from fracking wells to deep-well injection sites are not isolated to Pennsylvania.

and of course there are earth quakes and there are earth quakes

*sigh*
banks create money with every extension of credit as does the use of a credit card
the interest is never created

and of course you have never heard of quantitative easing and obviously have no idea what that is
and I guess credit bubbles don't exist either...or derivatives
on your planet anyway
must be nice up there

The problem of the waste water is a problem ,but in this case,it's a little problem ; in fact, the waste water is still there .

The real problem is that "after the fracking" the earth must stay "fracked" to allowed the gaz and petroleum extraction ... and for this one you must add "adjuvents" at the water ,who are particulary polluables...

In fact the exact nature of the adjuvent's is a secret ..
But in some country the solution is very simpel : to prévent lawsuites the companies buy the houses of the plaignants who leave the country .

To day you didn't have oil.
Tomorrow,you didn't have water ...
