I'm no fan of fracking but think that points made against it should be factual. I had not seen the articles you posted. So does it still stand that the quakes that were large enough to be felt were caused by injecting waste water? Since I never experienced an earthquake I don't know what can be felt and what can only be measured. The closes I can imaging to an earthquake was being in a 3 story building during a hurricane in New Orleans as a child. I could feel the building shaking through my bed. Pretty scary but as a recovering adrenaline junkie it was exciting.
