I am a geologist in the mid-Atlantic region with some familiarity of the fracking process and a lot of familiarity with the regional geology of Virginia. The assertion that fracking could be even partly responsible for the Tuesday earthquake is completely unsupported.
What is glibly dismissed as "only 90 miles" in this article is in fact a tremendous distance over which to claim causality for the relatively small explosions that do fracking. It's like setting off firecrackers on the north side of Manhattan, and then saying that they brought down the World Trade Center: the distance and magnitudes involved are implausibly large.
Nope, no agenda in the "article".
