I thought the earthquakes were caused by global warming, or, from extracting oil, black gold, Texas tea from the earth...tee, hee.

Fracking never turned a profit, but the externalities are ongoing. The Texas Railroad Commission is protecting the polluters and ting on the people adversely affected.

“We’re just planning to deplete it. It’s not like we’re conserving it. We’re just making the crash landing slow and somewhat tolerable,” said Jeff Bennett, a hydrogeologist in the West Texas town of Alpine who worked for 15 years for the National Park Service nearby.

Planners called it “managed depletion” — the intentional use of the resource to its end.
