Shout out to 'Ozark'... [link to www.baxterbulletin.com] A couple in an earthquake-ravaged pocket of central Arkansas is blaming recent seismic activity on companies that inject wastewater into the ground near their home. An attorney for Sam and April Lane filed a lawsuit last month in Faulkner County, where the couple lives, seeking class-action status. The lawsuit claims the companies' disposal wells are "directly linked" to hundreds of quakes that have rumbled through the region since last fall. A magnitude-2.2 quake hit about 45 miles north of Little Rock early Thursday. "There's no doubt in my mind that they're responsible," Sam Lane said.

But there's been no official pronouncement linking the quakes to the wells." COMMON SENSE easily makes the connection between the two events!

This winter the cost to heat our homes should increase dramatically if fracking stops. Hurray for frozen old and poor! Hurray for having to choose between food and warmth! Wait. . .If fuel costs increase so will everything else that depends on fuel, everything but salaries, so the rich get richer from investments and everyone but the top 3% will suffer and many will die. Hmmm. Oh well, at least we will be green while dead. Nice compromise. Idiots.
