You have to remember, they took a lot of the oil and gas out of the fault areas in California. The removal of these fuels could possibly reduce damage caused by a larger earthquake. This is a theory of mine which as far as I know has never been researched. I don't think everything we do is bad. I wish they would take the extra time and money to do the job more ECO-friendly though. We don't need to deplete all our fuel resources before switching to solar energy either. Save some for rainy days and quit wasting it so much.

The Earth has a " system" just like we do.
The nature of our earth is self sustaining. Humans have had their hands all in her and what they are doing goes against the nature of the planet itself.
The laws that govern systems are in place for a reason.
Just my two cents. :-)

I've lived in California for most of my life. As bad as you think people on this site are, they will let you speak freely...except for the trolls. California is much, much worst. The democrats in Arizona aren't that bad, all though I'm still a Republican California Democrats are like animals!

California sucks, you say Arizona is racist. But you are communist. You don't let anyone else have a different opinion and you "crucify" them if you don't agree with you. The Big One is coming, since you don't belive in GOD...please don't blame anyone else but yourself OK? California Karma = California EQ

Swarms like this release energy slowly, not all at once with a few strong aftershocks which is far more devastating
Bubbling mudpots are abundant in the Coso Hot Springs on the eastern margin of the Coso volcanic field. The hot springs occur along faults at the margins of a horst capped by rhyolitic rocks and are associated with fumaroles, mudpots, and widespread areas of hydrothermally altered ground.
A cooperative program of the U.S. Navy China Lake Naval Weapons Station and private industry has developed geothermal power at the Coso volcanic field. The first well was drilled in 1981 and production now exceeds 250 megawatts, greatly reducing energy costs to the Navy and providing additional electricity to the southern California power grid. This view from the NW shows turbine plants and production well ponds at Coso. Devils Kitchen, a fumarolic area with extensively hydrothermally altered ground, appears at the upper right.
