Quoted from BigT:Both sides are at fault for the earthquakes in Kansas, you are right some of drilling company’s send the contaminated water back into the well rather than dealing with the water. In western Kansas the earth quakes are caused by the wind farms, they anchor them down in the bedrock to keep them from toppling over from the Kansas wind. A couple years ago NPR in Hays had a geologist explain why there were so many earthquakes in northwest Kansas, when there had been none before. The answer was the wind farms and that the earthquakes would subside after a few years. Wichita earthquakes are due to the Oklahoma drillers sending contaminated water back into the ground.
Please sight any sources that say this. I’m genuinely interested being that much of ND is now either fracked or wind farms.
