They have a choice to make. Fracking and the jobs that it provides, or their lives. It's a stark choice, but if this doesn't wake them up nothing will.

the accumulated effects of multiple small quakes can topple a building just as well as one major quake. That state probably doesn't have the heavy duty building codes as we do, leaving any structure unsafe after an earthquake. The structural damage caused is not always visible, but it still there, hidden within the walls, attics and foundations, weakening the facades and masonry work.

A lot of the wells are pumping a mixture of oil or gas and briny water. After they separate, the oil or gas is pumped off and the water is put back into the ground well below the aquifer but into a layer of rock that is full of hidden faults. That's where all the quakes are coming from in most of OK, waste water injection wells. Elsewhere, they can be due to fracking.

So far, people in the area think picking their pictures off the floor a few times a week is worth the good paying jobs.

specifically Weld County, we have over 21000 wells. Those in positions of authority, 99.9% republican, are so enamored of fracking money that they allowed wells within Greeley's city limits. There is no neighborhood, no hospital, no school, no park, no playground, no water supply that is not in proximity to a fracking well. Yesterday morning we had a 3.1 quake, the most recent in a series a small quakes.

We have three Democrats on the ballot for the county commission. Please wish us luck.
