Rock steady

A few days ago, Jeff posted a piece, Geothermal versus The Basic Paradigm of Green, about some of the, um, problems that geothermal projects are encountering. Troubles such as earthquakes, caused by injecting water under high pressure into fissures in the substrate in the hopes of gathering heat. The high-pressure water, however, can destabilize the rock and, well, stuff starts sliding around, above and below the surface.
/. has an article, Swiss Geologist On Trial For Causing Earthquakes, about the trial of the geologist who lead a company that conducted the geothermal experiments. The geologist, Markus Haering, noted that his team had "very little knowledge of seismicity," but locals knew of the risks. (Story by the BBC - Switzerland geologist on trial for 'causing quakes'.)
Doc, things fall down when I do that.
Don't do that.
