Scientists convinced of link between earthquakes and drilling

Potentially big news, but drawing only one comment so far?

Just more evidence to add to the huge pile that already exists.

Interesting that fracking doesn't seem to be a major contributor. I wonder what the difference is between the wastewater and the fracking solution?

Will be entertaining to see how U.S. politicians vilify these findings, while those on the left fall over themselves to pretend that every earthquake comes from fracking.

Cracking seems to be more active in less geologically active areas while crude oil drilling is generally in the more active areas.

Looks like the problem is with the water injection. Keep studying and come up with an alternative method.

It's possible. However, why it doesn't happen in Middle East where major Oil rigs were drilling? Climate change advocates said it was causing by global warming. I believe cracking and ground water contamination was relevance activity.

It's just a matter of scale. There are many more drilling operations that DON'T involve fracking than there are fracking operations. If out of every 100 drilling operations, only 3 represent fracking operations, then I would only expect about 3% of any problems to be attributable to fracking operations.
