Fracking Causing Earthquakes?

January 5, 2012 | ISSUE 48•01

Don't worry, the U.S. Geological Survey is devising ways to solve the problem. In the meantime, we'll just have to put up with private corporations compromising the ancient bedrock underneath the North American continent's surface.

Well, then, fudge that fracking fricking son-of-a-beach wastewater, if it helps you feel better.
