ETA: This thread is not for pro/con of current fracking!!!!!
Fracking (hydraulic fracturing) may be causing minor earthquakes. This has been in the news for quite some time now.
If the above is true, could fracking in a known transform fault, like the Andreas fault, be used to intentionally cause minor quakes, thus bleeding off some of the energy of the fault so that large quakes could be eliminated or at least lessened in strength? I picture the fracking being used all along the fault line, getting the water mixture right into the fault if possible.
I realize that convergent plate boundaries would not be suitable for this type of tech. Convergent plate boundaries are not easily accessible and divergent plate boundaries aren't a problem.
