Here on the west coast of the US we get a few in this range every week.<br /><br />We've know that drilling for oil causes small tremors for 80-100 years. Geothermal holes and farking shouldn't be any different from drilling for oil.Bob Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09823785572625960890noreply@blogger.com
