@tubbdoose@mas.to Yep. You mess around enough underground & things start to shift. In traditional mining, that would be a very bad thing, so they do everything they can to avoid it. But with fracking (injecting high pressure steam in shale + gas deposits to try to force the gas up to the wells closer to the surface) shaking things up is kind of the point.
