"YOUNGSTOWN'S EARTHQUAKES"

First of all thank God, no damage and no one was hurt.  My cat "Jasper" is fine, I was at the store in Poland shaking with my wife and Jasper was half a mile from the epicenter.  Both our historic 1850 store and our 1920 home suffered no apparent damage.  This being said, majority of us in Youngstown are cognizant of the injection well and the studies going on resulting in a moratorium on injection wells that have been punched recently in our backyards.  Youngstown has seen its industrial industry vanish here and suffered the lowest poverty in the nation today.  We do however understand industry and we remember high paying jobs.

 

There is an old tale here that many steel mill fathers and mothers always told their offsprings, look at the black smoke coming from the stacks, that is the picture of money and jobs.  Yes, we knew for every production of man, their is always a counterproduction.  And the poor immigrants who built the great steel mills, understood that benefits outweighed the stark poverty they came from.  Youngstown once boast the most home ownership in the WORLD, come see what is left of the homesteads, wiped out by entitlements and non production. 

 

Yes, we will shut down the injection wells until we find an answer and can evolve with understanding and safety measures.  Of course the experts are here now and American innovation will figure it out.  However, with the fact of freezing to death and energy dependence, our only option without PERPETUAL MOTION is to plow ahead.  Make no mistake us here in Youngstown will harvest the energy underneath us and we will figure out how to handle the byproduct without dumping it into the Mahoning river, and if we conclude that this one injection well is dangerous we will shut this one down but no other.

It's a conspiracy.  Probably involves the freemasons. But don't worry, tinfoil hats will keep your thoughts safe!

ODNR says that specific INJECTION well most likely caused the earthquake.

Hearsay reveals that ODNR and D&L both are at fault, the permit was for the Mt. SIMON formation.  However, D&L with ODNR monitoring was allowed to drill hundreds of feet deeper into the PRECAMBRIAN. Can one assume, to be able to inject more waste water into the hole?  And the science says that injecting into the PRECAMBRIAN most likely exposed a fault?  Why didn't D&L stay into the permeable MT SIMON?
