Wastewater Wells, Geothermal Power Triggering Earthquakes
NPR - 3 hours ago
The continental U.S. experiences small earthquakes every day. But over
the past few years, their numbers have been increasing. Geoscientists
say the new epidemic of quakes is related to industrial wastewater being
pumped into underground storage wells. http://www.npr.org/2013/07/11/200515289/wastewater-wells-geothermal-power-triggering-earthquakes
