He's correct about the correlation between fracking and fault lubrication. Elementary geology. Beyond that, he's just swinging wildly at shadows.

No serious quakes in the "u-shaped region" from south Japan to the north Philippines. "Five days or less"
This video was produced 5 days ago. (13 minutes into the video)

This is total Woo. Nonsense. He's just throwing darts. That's pretty funny too, because the area he selected is EXTREMELY active. If you wanted to pick a random place and 'be right', that's a good region to pick, just because that section of the 'ring of fire' is so active.

He's just swinging randomly.

On the fault lubrication in Colorado? That's real. Well documented. Expected and explained by credible sources. (Not this guy)

Big 'ol wiff and a miss on the Pacific coast too.

I noticed you only "thanked" those who criticized the video...Fracking may be bad for the environment & indeed cause earthquakes in certain areas but the info in his videos is not accurate...It is more Alex Jones than Geology.

Turn a bunch of idiots loose with machinery and they'll fucking crack the world in half. This is why we can't have nice things; because greedy dumb ass idiots do things like this and endanger the rest of us.

I wonder how that passed the legislature when the state's budget is such a mess and fracking brings in such a large amount of fees and taxes, at least from OH.

My guess is that fracking may soon return to KS.

Anyone familiar with the politics may have first hand knowledge and hopefully my opinion is just that, something stinky, I hope.
