hi
@darkExistence (; ich fühl mich hier besser aufgehoben als drüben (;
Ich denke ja eher an eine Erdbeben-Gasbohrung Verkettung in Arkansas!
auf dieser Seite ist eine sehr gute Zusammenfassung (wer kein Englisch kann muß glauben was andere sagen))

Southwestern Energy has 22 drilling rigs in the area. All of that drilling has landowners in Faulkner County outraged.
"They test for a couple of heavy metals. They're not doing all the testing that we need done in Arkansas. It's a bunch of bull," yelled one woman.
After nearly 400 minor earthquakes in north central Arkansas this year, the Office of Emergency Management brought everyone together this month to calm nerves. Many in the crowd fear a drilling process, called fracking, is causing the quakes and polluting the environment.
Fracking involves injecting water, sand and various chemicals into rock formations to open fractures in the shale to get to the gas out faster.
While scientists with the Arkansas Geological Survey do not believe natural gas drilling is causing the earthquakes, they are still researching the issue. The EPA is now studying whether fracking affects drinking water and public health.

A research scientist from the University of Memphis, Dr. Steve Horton said Arkansas is getting a lot of unusual earthquakes, more than 60 in the last month.
“In the New Madrid Seismic Zone there’s approximately 200 per year, so if we had that many in Central Arkansas in less than a month, something is going on,” said Dr. Horton.
That part of central Arkansas isn’t even part of the New Madrid Fault Zone, so researchers are trying to figure out what’s causing all those earthquakes. Horton thinks, the earthquake swarm could be the result of injecting salt water into old natural gas wells to force more gas production.
“There’s salt water that’s a by product of the natural gas industry in that area and then disposed in a well,” said Dr. Horton.
