Very few. It isn't happening in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, or
most of Texas. And if this stuff is being "fabricated" for our benefit,
what kept it in the ground? It should have been spilling out like artesian
wells. We drill in the highest places. It would make sense that some can
flow up from deeper levels, as the ground settles.
