Another Attempt to Tie Shale Fracking to Ohio Earthquakes

Last May, MDN brought you the news that the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) was laying the blame for a series of low-level earthquakes in southeastern Ohio on fracking at a shale well in Noble County (see ODNR Says Fracking in Noble County, OH Caused Series of Earthquakes). We were somewhat incredulous. Most of the time, low-level quakes are tied to injection wells near active faults, not to fracked shale wells. The enviro-left is making the most of it, ginning up angst in and around Noble County, tying fracked shale wells (not injection wells) to a series of low-level quakes in the region.
