I wouldn't try to convince anyone I was anything resembling well-informed on these issues, and, to be clear, I'm not suggesting that fracking in somewhere like Ohio is directly causing earthquakes on the Pacific coast. That being said, in the back of my head after hearing about the many pitfalls of hydraulic fracturing, then hearing about all these earthquakes, I just see this planet bucking us off if we get too out of line.
If we want to stay around as a species for a long time we're going to soon have to figure out how to live in harmony with our planet and still advance as a people. If we don't and really screw this place up then we'll just end up like millions of species before us with new interesting beings strolling around in our place (once the dust settles). Just as we as individuals must try not to waste our potential greatness, I hope for the sake of humanity that we as a species don't wear out our welcome and instead achieve things in excess of our wildest dreams.
That's the end of my late night rant. Happy living everyone.
