Under the measure, passed overwhelmingly by lawmakers and signed in mid-June by Republican Governor Greg Abbott, Lone Star State officials will establish and operate the Texas Bullion Depository for anyone who would like to deposit and trade in precious metals. The implications are as big as Texas.</span><br> <div> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br></span></div> <div> <img src="https://img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fimg.evbuc.com%2Fhttps%253A%252F%252Fcdn.evbuc.com%252Fimages%252F13479201%252F10883894659%252F1%252Foriginal.jpg%3Frect%3D0%252C16%252C150%252C75%26s%3D86717ba4e342b58caeb7545495be6fa4?h=150&w=300&s=c244fff0eaeedf06bdbda8212aadd2a3"><br> </div></div></div>

After 30 Earthquakes Rock Their Small Texas Town, Residents FINALLY Become Anti-Fracking Activists

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Residents in the small town of Azle, Texas and the Reno area, northwest of Ft. Worth, are crying foul after at least thirty earthquakes have rocked the area since November of last year — saying that fracking is to blame. </span></span><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2OvPkb53dX6PSyhGH3BS_tyoMLVGLJF66MR8OnqtdrH7F73lE54iFg3MgPfZAPrkwz59X7NYtpeXn1W6twmOmujxxecQam5iJ9cpdL6A1mV9aPrTgzj7qGCoVwZ4dK8VH8n0Nz8wQnfBA/s1600/onnn+ssss.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="364" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2OvPkb53dX6PSyhGH3BS_tyoMLVGLJF66MR8OnqtdrH7F73lE54iFg3MgPfZAPrkwz59X7NYtpeXn1W6twmOmujxxecQam5iJ9cpdL6A1mV9aPrTgzj7qGCoVwZ4dK8VH8n0Nz8wQnfBA/s1600/onnn+ssss.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fracking is the process of injecting chemicals into the ground in order to force the release of natural gas. The process is now being associated with seismic activity after it was linked to a series of earthquakes in Ohio in 2013. Area residents swarmed a meeting of the Texas Railroad Commission this Tuesday to demand fracking be halted in their area, saying that it’s simple math that the earthquakes are a result. </span></span><br /> <!-- Begin BidVertiser code --><br /> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="http://bdv.bidvertiser.com/BidVertiser.dbm?pid=579098%26bid=1449088" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT><br /> <noscript><a href="http://www.bidvertiser.com/bdv/BidVertiser/bdv_advertiser.dbm">marketing</a></noscript><br /> <!-- End BidVertiser code --> <br /> <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /> </span></span> <div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The correlation of increased fracking wastewater disposal and increased earthquakes is blindingly obvious<em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">,” </em>said Sharon Wilson of the Earthworks Oil and Gas Accountability Project.</span></span></div><div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“We have three things that we’d like to ask for,” Wilson added. “We’d like to ask for wastewater injection to halt until the science exists to prevent related earthquakes; we’d like all seismic data collected to be publicly available online and in real time; [and] we’d like those responsible for the injection wells to be held presumptively liable for damages caused [by] earthquakes in the area.”</span></span></div><div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“If Texas regulators want to show that they’re not owned by the oil and gas industry,” Wilson said, they can “act now, study later.”</span></span></div><div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Massachusetts is now seeking a <a href="http://rt.com/usa/fracking-texas-activists-concerned-510/" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out; border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;">ten-year ban</a> on fracking as knowledge of the earthquakes in Texas spreads.</span></span></div><div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Watch news coverage here courtesy WFAA:</span></span></div><!-- BEGIN TAG - DO NOT MODIFY --><br /> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ epom_key = "58a2f5117e08ea757dd860388cddcb60"; epom_channel = ""; epom_code_format = "ads"; epom_ads_host = "//www.adshost2.com"; epom_click = ""; epom_custom_params = {}; epom_width = "300"; epom_height = "250"; epom_sandbox_configuration = "allow-forms, allow-pointer-lock, allow-popups, allow-same-origin, allow-scripts, allow-top-navigation"; document.write("<script type='text\/javascript' src='"+(location.protocol == 'https:' ?
