Oh brother, here it comes…
Besides,
on faults that “have been inactive for hundreds of millions of years,”
What kind of bogus standard is THAT?
La-dee-dah, I’m a “geophysicist”, I work at a university and you don’t, and all that means I get to tell all YOU dumb clucks that hundreds of millions of years without measurable seismic activity on a massive elevated plateau that’s one’s on the most dominant features of the southern reach of the one of the only 4 great plains, prairies & steppe formations on this planet somehow MEANS something. Like, zero earthquakes going all the way back to when Jeebus rode dinosaurs, followed by a teensy slice of 100 years or so of basically unrestrained drilling and fracking, followed by MEASURABLE EARTHQUAKES isn’t totally random.
In reality world, this activity is toadily inexplicable unless there are decades of studies and then every single person who claims to be a scientist or to know one or have heard or read about them agrees otherwise.
Texas: come for the crazy, stay for gigantic and ominous rumblings, soon host not only to the Texas Super Collier hole in the ground, but thousands upon thousands of daily earthquekes and sinkholes.
