Lessons from Pohang: A Stanford geophysicist discuss es geothermal energy’s earthquake problem – and possible solutions...

[Fred Bloggs]

A geothermal energy project triggered a damaging earthquake in 2017 in South Korea. A new analysis suggests flaws in some of the most common ways of trying to minimize the risk of such quakes when harnessing Earth’s heat for energy.

What a bunch of high-level bullcrap...

Idiots in U.S. mid-Atlantic relatively small scale fracking operation induced an earthquake that propagated up the entire east coast.

But DOE forges ahead with more inadequate science and engineering:

As long as there\'s money to be made, the rodents come swarming.

Earthquakes are like forest fires. Lots of little ones are better than
a few big ones.
