Until recently, there were maybe four earthquakes every day in the fracking regions of Oklahoma. Curious. Now that fracking gas is unprofitable, those earthquakes in OK have diminished. Only one has happened in the past seven days - on 11 April. In the same location where it happened on 26 March.
Now that fracking wells are not being drilled, those daily earthquakes (magnitude 2.5 or higher) have diminished. There were only 17 earthquakes in OK this past month.
Why have these earthquakes not been reported? It was an almost daily occurrence in OK for years - ever since fracking started. That is no longer news. It is routine.
Meanwhile, Puerto Rico has had well over 100 earthquakes (2.5 or greater) in the past month. Why is that also not news?
