    House Bill 40 by Rep. Drew Darby, R-San Angelo, would pre-empt local efforts to regulate a variety of oil and gas activities, most notably hydraulic fracturing or fracking. Darby said his bill would do away with the "patchwork of inconsistent regulation that undermines" the future economic potential of the state's most valuable natural resource.

    Right on the heels of this study.

    http://www.dallasnews.com/news/state...study-says.ece

    Oil and gas operations are the most likely cause of dozens of earthquakes that began rattling the North Texas towns of Azle and Reno in November 2013, a group of scientists has concluded.The study, led by researchers at SMU and published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications, presents some of the most conclusive evidence yet that humans are shifting faults below Dallas-Fort Worth that have not budged in hundreds of millions of years.
    Another victory for small government Republicans.

    but but but that area has always had earthquakes, as STalkers say in defense of SkyPeople.

    e/q rate went from 1 /year to several per month, but but but ....

    There is disagreement within the scientific community.

    AND my 3 scientists don't use "junk science"...

    Have we considered that these earthquakes could be caused by something other than fracking?

    If not, we should consider that and then not do anything about it and leave the debate in perpetual limbo.

    Case closed, problem solved; you're welcome, America.

    I agree, we need to give voice to all theories. This could be a result of Intelligent Tectonics.

    Booyah, boutons_deux! "Researchers" have ruled OUT fracking as a cause of the earthquakes!

    Let's frack 'till we can all ignite our facets! That's not fire, it's freedom.

    I don't like how it says "Ad" though. That gives the impression that it was paid for and is not unbiased credible news. That's kind of liberal of Google, but what else would you expect from San Francisco?

    I think the study concludes that it's not the fracking thats likely casing the increases in earthquakes, but rather the wastewater injection wells which are used to dispose of the drilling waste.

    Right, but the reason that's done is because of fracking.

    Tidal forces from the moon. Also, are we closer to Jupiter right now? That could explain these.

    oh well, Texas just told the NIMBYs to get ed on their quality of life complaints related to fracking. which of course they won't.
