The Democrats have been able to call hearings for 10 months. How long do they get? The Republicans have had total power and did nothing to investigate anything about President Trump's administration, instead they took a "Dear Leader" approach.
And ever since Trump has been stonewalling any and all efforts to investigate any of the oversight that is the congresses job. What do you expect the Democrats to do? Do they have to just roll over and do whatever Trump's 'gut' tells them to do?
.Do they have to ignore his breaking of laws and trouncing of our global allies for Putin and other murderous dictators?

How about 5000 earthquakes a year thanks to big oil fracking!

Is that for real? That is crazy, mind linking to the data on that please.

The USGS should have data on this

That is crazy how dramatically it increased.
Looks like whatever was causing it peaked in 2015 and something must have changed because it started decreasing. Hopefully whatever it was will get down to the 50-ish a year range again. That is scary, we are living on the crust of a giant ball of fire flying through space around a far larger ball of fire, it would be nice if we don't break something before we understand how fragile all this is.

fracking is causing earthquakes. It's not a worldwide issue nor are they big ones like the CA Loma Prieta quake but areas that were previously virtually earthquake free have seen a rise in them ever since fracking went major scale. The carbon emissions coming from fracking is the worst part of it though.

I am not a physicist, geologist, or whatever to know this, but every movie I have seen tells me that most gasses are pretty damn cold. If we are pulling that much out of the ground, what is going to happen when whatever it was that shit was keeping cold warms up?

I'm no geo-physicist either. Some articles from Science Magazine:
AAAS

wastewater disposal by injection into deep wells poses a higher risk, because this practice can induce larger earthquakes. The mechanism responsible for inducing these events appears to be the well-understood process of weakening a preexisting fault by elevating the fluid pressure. However, only a small fraction of the more than 30,000 wastewater disposal wells appears to be problematic—typically those that dispose of very large volumes of water and/or communicate pressure perturbations directly into basement faults.

Triggered quakes get unconventional
The big earthquakes induced by human activity are mostly linked with disposal of wastewater. However, Bao and Eaton implicate hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) as the culprit in western Canada (see the Perspective by Elsworth). Fracking near Fox Creek, Alberta, reactivated faults, clustering earthquakes along the old fault traces. Fracking does not appear to cause large earthquakes in many other areas that are prone to induced seismicity. Understanding the underlying causes of seismicity in different localities is vital for developing sound regulation to limit damaging earthquakes.
Earthquakes with magnitude (M) ≥ 3 in the U.S. midcontinent, 1967–2012. After decades of a steady earthquake rate (average of 21 events/year), activity increased starting in 2001 and peaked at 188 earthquakes in 2011. Human-induced earthquakes are suspected to be partially responsible for the increase.

Yes, I'm sure Putin is absolutely concerned about how fracking is causing some earthquakes in the US mid-west.
What a great humanitarian he is. I mean, pensioners in Russia are at the end of the rope due to inflation eroding the value of their pension check and here is Putin worried about 3.0 R tremblers shaking Tulsa. For the sake of humanity, I hope he stays in power.
