Oh yes, he really said it:

You can environmentally do that well or you can environmentally do it poorly. If you do it poorly you use up the water aquifer, you create in some cases, the argument is, earthquakes, a whole lot of things.

This guy gets dumber by the day. We are a sad country when an idiot like this can be elected to the VP position.

They both lie whenever the speak. It's just that joe isn't as slick when he's slinging it.

Technically, it depends on what you call an "earthquake". Fracking creates tons of microseismic events, ones that can be recorded by equipment but that cause no harm that people usually associate with "earthquakes". It is possible that a large microseismic event occurs as a result of fracking. Of course, he insinuates that we'll have another Japanese tsunami as a result.

There comes a point when it's time to fold up the lawn chair and just go home permanently, Uncle Joe. Greener pastures await. Medication and copious amounts of alcohol can be administered. Time to sit in a garden somewhere and watch the birdies and play checkers with the security personnel who will keep an eye on you and make sure you can't do further damage to others or yourself. Good old Joe. The plugs went a little too deep into his skull.

True, but I'm thinking we could just dangle something shiny in front of him and lead him away from anything in the White House he could get into. Can't do that with Obama.

I tried some Fracking in pancakes once and it wasn't very good. So threw them outside for the birds and the whole house shook!

Go figure!

Joe must be right. No wait a minute...he's Left. Right? I don't know, perhaps I should ask Joe just what he is?

Omg, I think I just got Joe Biden'd!!! aaaaaah!

Well, we must admit Biden has been very effective on policy - being a life insurance policy for Bamster that keeps renewing every time he opens his mouth!

Friend, The 3 links you post are about the same story. If you read them you would see that the geologist experts you state are not positive that the fracking causes the earthquakes.

A quote from the first article: "Although LDEO scientists are not saying that the pumping caused the quakes"

A quote from the third article: "Geologists believe it is very difficult for all conditions to be met to induce seismic events," the report states. "In fact, all the evidence indicates that properly located … injection wells will not cause earthquakes."

So, actually, what Biden is saying is wrong.

Did you listen to what Biden said?

Because he said that when done properly it won't cause earthquakes.

A quote from the first article:

Scientists have quickly determined that the likely cause was fracking—although not from drilling into deep shale or cracking it with pressured water and chemicals to retrieve natural gas. Rather, they suspect the disposal of wastewater from those operations, done by pumping it back down into equally deep sandstone.

So it appears that you're being deliberately manipulative of the articles and that you didn't listen to the audio.

Did I tell you all that I met Paul Bunyon the other day? I met Alice when she invited me to Wonderland, too. I should also tell you that our CO2 emmissions are causing Pluto to erode. While I'm at it, don't forget that the sun is doubling in size every three days because our oil companies are drilling out our anti-sun protection.

I'm so sick of these bastards making up whatever lie benefits their cause.

kong1967, anybody knows that Pluto is eroding from shame since it was officially downgraded from planet status years ago.

But before our industrialization, Pluto was the size of Jupiter. Bush caused it to become a tiny rock, lol.

You beat me to it! About the only thing he left out was to tell if them is that fracking causes the water in your home to ignite! What an idiot indeed. Unfortunately the useful idiots will believe him.
