3. Good Q. But most earthquakes are being caused by injecting the frack waste into the earth.

I think the propane gel would be great for water conservancy and greatly reduced toxic waste, but they still have to use high pressure. There are a few cases of small earthquakes from the fracking process itself, but most are from the waste injection wells.

Fracking is still really bad. Its a violent attack on mother nature, earth. It will never be OK. But this would at least make it less of an assault.

We'll see what happens with the waterless fracking well in Ohio.
