> Like the panic over fracking

Fracking is absolutely not harmless. I posted elsewhere in this thread about how I have had family property damaged by fracking-induced earthquakes. This is in a region with no active faults, with no record of earthquakes before the fracking started, and the wells are tens of miles away, not next door. I certainly hope data centers are better than fracking wells because those things are a plague.

I'm sorry about your property. Can I assume this event led you to study the issue and conclude based on evidence beyond there being no record of earthquakes in the region (every region has a record of earthquakes, so I'm leaning towards no)
