Fracking-Another thought on this topic. This is a recent article on the effect of fracking. If you aren't familiar with it, it is a process that is used to fracture the earth by injecting water, sand and chemicals into the rock layers, typically in extremely limited quantities in a very localized area and in a very controlled manner. And this is the result:-"HilCorp Energy efforts to frack in Ohio was stopped after 5 magnitude 3 earthquakes along the Pennsylvania border were recorded.-For example, in Youngstown, Ohio, over 100 earthquakes rocked the town in areas that had 177 active injection wells.-This study shows that the process of fracking itself is causing the earthquakes, and not merely a fracking related activity."-Now, if some relatively lame human fracking can manage to cause over 100 earthquakes reaching at least 3.0 on the richter scale, what would this do:-
"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened."-http://www.techtimes.com/articles/8553/20140616/earth-found-hiding-huge-reservoirs-water-400-miles-below.htm
http://www.techtimes.com/articles/8553/20140616/earth-found-hiding-huge-reservoirs-water-400-miles-below.htm-The quantity of water is not the point of this, but rather the fact that it is under extreme temperatures and pressure. If it were to try and vent it would make all the fracking jobs on the planet look miniscule in terms of the potential scale for damage.
