Yes, I agree that it's the waste water injection that causes it.

The people that are having their homes wrecked and their property values being destroyed want it stopped one way or another and I certainly don't blame them.

Can they frack without injecting the waste water?

They'll have to come up with something or lawsuits will eventually shut it down.

Right now lousy oil prices are shutting it down but if oil prices run up again people aren't going to accept fracking so quickly in the future.

It comes down to economics like everything else.

>>But another important point is that while these quakes are measurable, they are pretty insignificant. If you live in an apartment and an 18 wheeler drives by outside, you might get the same effect from that as you would induced seismicity from injection. <<
