Very insightful. This Valley does have a list of problems and it just keeps getting longer.
You raisgood points, Daryl. Two things, though…first, as I understand it, the quakes in Oklahoma and parts of adjacent Texas began after fracking started big time there. And these area had no known previous history of quakes, especially as numerous as they were (hundreds). Each geological location has its own dynamics; what is safe one place may not be safe somewhere else. Second, as for high-speed rail, while folks who are directly affected by it do not like the idea, long term, CA is going to need some kind of passenger rail upgrade to help meet its city-to-city transport needs in the future. We can only expand the highways so much. I don’t have an answer to the problem — maybe look at using the current I-5 corridor instead?
Thank you for the info. Very well done.
No matter how long it’s been going on; Fracking is still bad and should be stopped.
Yes we have a lot of problems and all of them should be addressed. As for the I-5? Seriously, it’s just getting to be like the 405 parking lot. Oh, and while we are talking traffic, yikes!? Can’t the trucks have their own roads or own drive times or anything?!
Just sayin’.
Not in scv not scv’s problem. Unfortunate but our city dollars should not be used on out of city limit matters
Google “does fracking cause earthquakes” and it’s not hard to find scientific studies that state that although the fracking doesn’t cause the quakes, the storage underground of the waste fluids does. Quit a lot in Texas apparently. Maybe the people who are planning to frack here have a smarter plan. We can hope.
OTOH, this is California. We have quakes. Might was well get some oil too.
Not “planning to frack.” Fracking & deep-well injection has been going on in the Santa Clarita Valley since at least the 1960s, and is still done today.
