    Fracking is literally artificial seismic activity.

    So yes, fracking causes earthquakes....because that is what fracking does...in plain, simple terms.

    No doubt Biden will be somewhere between 25-50% on his.
    I just scrolled through both of those. As I expected, Politifact fudged it both ways. They made Obama look better and Trump worse. For example, the first on on Trump is Dramatically scale back the EPA They rate this a partially kept when Trump made major rollbacks to the agency in staff, functions, and regulations. Their measure is The EPA is still here. That isn't rolling it back, that's eliminating it. Politifact moved the goal posts to make it worse for Trump.

    There is just far too many on there to begin to parse through all of them.

    Like, dude, THAT IS LITERALLY WHAT FRACKING IS.

    Shooting the water into the earth...TO WHAT END? To dislodge the resources trapped...and you can only free those resources BY INITIATING SEISMIC ACTIVITY.

    It is safe. It's water, sand, and possibly a few things like alcohol, some common salts, and possibly the use of an acid no stronger than inside an orange (it's the same acid).

    Fear mongering. Denial of engineering.

    Deeper wells go into an aquifer, which is recharged in much the same way, but are located beneath the bedrock.

    Not shown here, but it is an important factor being ignored by LV246; the sand and soil filter the runoff water. A nearby septic system, so long as it's 100 ft from a well, is perfectly okay. The soil, sand, and bacteria in that soil and sand will make that water quite potable by the time it gets anywhere near the well.

    This is why you can discharge sewage into a river, but some distance downstream, it's perfectly potable water again. The turbulence, sand, gravel, natural bacteria in the water, and movement of the water over these purifies the water again. Some sewage treatment plants have what is called 'tertiary treatment'. This is often a sand bed that the water is run over. These plants can discharge potable water when they are through with it. Yes...a sewage plant. You read right.

    It's amazing what a bit of sand, soil, and bacteria can do!
    That isn't a groundwater well. It is aquifer recharge. You have a well in reverse. You pump treated wastewater back into the aquifer to restore groundwater volume. This is one way to offset pumping out ground water.

    Carbon is not a gas. It's also a fuel.

    Pretty much. The biggest problem with fracking right now is that the waste water isn't being adequately stored and handled. The industry needs to get a better grasp on that or on reuse of water.

    Now, you want us to believe that seismic activity can be controlled, and I'm telling you that it can't.
    Yes it can. You can stop walking. You've reduced seismic activity. You can stop your car at an intersection. You've reduced seismic activity.

    True. Carbon in it's usual form is "lampblack." A solid in very fine form and man does it get on everything. But it's definitely not a gas.

    Carbon as lampblack has thousands of uses in industry. It isn't a "greenhouse gas" either.

    ...deleted repetition...
    Methane is not released by the fracking process. It's just water and sand.

    Now if the well is looking for methane, or oil, then they often get one with the other when they are done drilling. Methane is a fuel. It's also called natural gas. Oil is also a fuel, refining it produces kerosene, diesel oil, gasoline, natural gas (methane), various solvents, and even asphalt for roads and roofing shingles.
