Pett doesn’t know fracking

I realize that Joel Pett knows all that there is to know about all there is to know, but isn’t that the definition of a know-it-all? However, there may be a place where he is lacking in knowledge, and that is fracking. As a registered petroleum engineer, I sat on some wells that were being fracked in the mid-1950s. To my knowledge, there have been no resulting earthquakes. Nor do I hear of any major fracking projects in Japan or Ecuador, but I do understand that they are having earthquake problems.
