The number of earthquakes since fracking, what's before I talk shit, what's before I use bro science? Let's find out. What percentage of increase in earthquake activity? Pretty much drilling for oil pretty much. Right? Yeah. Yeah. It's basically they're drilling into, it's a more complicated way of drilling, but through this they've liberated so much oil that we're not as dependent. I don't know if we are dependent anymore on international oil. They've been able to suck a lot of it out of the ground, but for people that live there, it's horrific. There's a guy named, is it Josh Fox who has that book Gasland or a documentary Gasland? I believe that's his name. He's been on here before. What's that? I'm sorry about it, which this is from Inside Science for maybe a year. What does that say there? Were you highlighted? I didn't highlight it. It's just weirdly highlighted already somehow. In the region of Western Canada, only about one in 300 fracking operations causes earthquakes. Oh, no big deal. 300. Watch enough for a person to feel in North America at the moment. Imagine how funny that is. Hey man, seriously, we only cause one earthquake for every 300. We're changing the earth. Only one out of 300. They don't tell you how many fracking operations they have. What if they have like 300 a day across 3000 different holes in the ground? Which seems like that makes actual sense. It's probably something high like that. Yeah, dude, you know, people have these ranches out in these places and then they have these things set up on these ranches where they'll frack and dig into the ground. Good luck if you have like a water source that's connected to that apparently. And sometimes the gas gets out of the ground, it fucks up the air quality. Oof, bro. That gets dark. They aren't just small quakes. So fracturing related earthquakes are chronic. They were thought to be minor, but new research is showing they can be quite large and damaging. The focus of the study of a 5.7 magnitude quake near Prague, Oklahoma damaged 14 homes and other structures in the area. Imagine you're in Prague, Oklahoma. You're like, at least I can just sit on the porch and relax. We're away from most folks. And these frackin' motherfuckers, they chewed up the ground under your house. Like the government has to decide like how deep under your house is this still your house? Like if you buy a pot of land and they drink your milkshake. You remember that from that movie, Let There Be Blood? It's like, I drink your milkshake. Do you remember that? You remember what I'm talking about? Dude, do you remember? I'm going to have a seat again. You're going to see me anytime you want. Anytime. Let's make scheduled times when we see each other. You're going to do a comedy club down in a podcast. Most likely, I'm definitely going to do a podcast. Most likely I'm going to do a comedy club there too. Why not? Be fun for all of us.
