15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark with me as

16
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: always is Charles W. Chuck Bryant. You know it says

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: Chuck and Josh. We debated, this is Josh and Chuck.

18
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: It's chucking Josh, now, dude, it's what do you mean now? Well,

19
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: it was Josh and Chuck and then it became Chuck

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: and Josh. I'm sure in the future will just keep

21
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: roll rotating. It's like the wheel of time. All right.

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: I just Josh and Chuck has a ring that I enjoy.

23
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: How about Chosh, Chuck and Matt? Yeah, with special guest

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: producer Matt. Jerry's not here to spank us when we air, no,

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: which means we can get away with a lot of stuff.

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: Although I think we're self regulating these days. Yeah, we're

27
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: doing pretty well. Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly. Uh, Chuck, Yes,

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: you want to get into it. You remember the earthquake

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: in May of two thousand and eight in China, Sechuan Province. Yeah, yeah,

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: killed like eighty thou people, I think, right? Seven point nine, Yes,

31
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: the old Richter scale, right, how we pronounced it, That's

32
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: how you spoke to German. I just thought it'd be

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: funny if we mispronounced like even things that everybody knows,

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: because we have a reputation for mispronouncing difficult things. All right,

35
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: let's start doing it the Richter scale. Okay, well the

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: on the Richter scale, squail, can we do that? Uh

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: it hit? What did you say at seven point nine? Yeah? Thereabouts,

38
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: and like I said, killed lady thousand people was an enormous,

39
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: horrific earthquake, and um, very quickly, you know. I remember

40
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 1: MPR was there because they were like covering the Olympics,

41
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: so everybody went to Sechua instead because it was right

42
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: before the Olympics. Right, we were here, We were here.

43
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: But MPR did like a month of coverage on this earthquake,

44
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: like everybody was talking about it. One thing that flew

45
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: under the radar that at least my radar, was that

46
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: there were and still our allegations that the earthquake was

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: actually um man made, at least hastened by a man

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: made structure, specifically the you're pointing at me, the zipping

49
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: zip zipping poo damn, something like that, pooping poo. Yeah,

50
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: that's something like that. Yeah, flee below my radar too.

51
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: I had no idea about this. Did you see that?

52
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Like on a certain there's like tons of articles on it.

53
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: They just got no play. Yeah. So, um, what we're

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: talking about is something that's called reservoir induced seismicity, Yes, right,

55
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: and to a certain degree in due size, misicity to

56
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: a greater extent. I don't know what you just said.

57
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: Not only reservoirs I got a couple of other nuggets. Yeah, chuck, chuck,

58
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: dug up some other man made earthquake phenomena. Right, Um,

59
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: but let's well, let's start with reservoir and du seismicity, right,

60
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: or let's start with damns. How about that? Well, that's

61
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: a good place to start. Or should we start with earthquakes? Actually,

62
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: if you want to know about earthquakes, go listen to

63
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: our How Earthquakes Work podcast, which is pretty good. Did

64
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: we do that? Yeah? Yeah, I'm getting old. Days are

65
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: just kind of melting together. I was honestly thinking we

66
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: should do one on earthquakes. Yeah, we already did, remember

67
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: the s waves? Oh yeah, yeah, sure, alright, So, um,

68
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: we'll talk about dams instead. These things are, um, well,

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: dams are getting bigger and bigger. Is our engineering prowess? Uh?

70
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: Is not ours? But humaniter is getting better and better

71
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: and our needs are growing. Right, So I think constructing

72
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: a dam in the first place, what you're doing is

73
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: you're just putting a wall up in front of a

74
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: river and letting the water back. Fell right, pretty easy.

75
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: But by doing this number one, you're changing um, the

76
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: river hydrology downstream e g. The people downstream are in

77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: big trouble. Um. But you're also you have to take

78
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: into account the area around um the dam, what was

79
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: normally once just dry land with a river running through it,

80
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: and probably some villages. You know Lake lan Ear. I

81
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: think there's no natural lake in Georgia. They're all man

82
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: made it from what I understand. That's what I understand too.

83
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: But Lake Lanear specifically has a town beneath it. And

84
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: when the um, when the reservoir lowers, decreases. Uh, you

85
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: can see a gulf have any sixth time popping up

86
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: out of it? Have you ever seen that? It's creepy?

87
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: That is creepy. That's why. Also they can never find

88
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: somebody who dies in likely near because they get caught

89
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: up in like power lines or in a convenience store

90
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: or something like that. Shopping yeah, under the water, shopping dead. Yeah. Um.

91
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: But around this area and what was what used to

92
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: be dry land, there's also dirt and rock and oftentimes

93
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: mountains sometimes fall lines. Because you want to use the

94
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: natural geography of the area to hold this water. Right.

95
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: You ever been to the Hoover Dam. I haven't. I've

96
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,920
Speaker 1: flown over it. Does that count. I got a good

97
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: gander of it at like ten thousand feet. Yeah, if

98
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: you ever go this is I mean a lot of

99
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: people drive over the Hoover Dam, or they stand on

100
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: the edge of the Hoover Dam, like Bob Will suggests.

101
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: But I suggest that if you're there, take the time

102
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: to pay the dough it's like, I don't know how

103
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: much it is tin bucks and go down and take

104
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: the tour. Wow. It's my only my only tip tip

105
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: of the day. I've seen it on the TV. It's

106
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: really cool looking and you can stand there and rbl

107
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: at it, but when you get down on the guts

108
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: of it is when you're really like whoa. Yeah. So

109
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: it's a marvel of engineering, absolutely right, And like I said,

110
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: it utilizes the surrounding geography to hold the water. Um.

111
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: But when you do this, you're applying a lot of

112
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: water that didn't used to be there to the surrounding

113
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: same mountains. Yea, And all of a sudden you have

114
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: something that we call landslides, right, yes, And that's what's

115
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: usually you think of. You don't think of earthquakes when

116
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: you think of um, that kind of activity. You think

117
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: of landslides. You want to tell them about the Italian

118
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: landslide because you love to do the accents, but do

119
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: it in a really somber tone. Well there, I'm not

120
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: gonna do it an Italian accent. But it is one

121
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: of the deadliest in history and it was in northern

122
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: Italy and sixty three and it killed people. An entire

123
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 1: village is wiped out when four hundred million cubic yards

124
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: of mountain rock fell into the reservoir. I'm not going

125
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: to pronounce that the v damn. Yeah, it looks French. Yeah,

126
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: well it's in the Alp so it's close to France. Yeah,

127
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: and it basically created a tidal wave eight hundred and

128
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: fifty six ft tall, right, So this um four hundred

129
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: million cubic yards of rock goes into the reservoir, just

130
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: places all that water. And yeah, the the wave I read,

131
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: this wave that was generated by it crested over the

132
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: top of the damn. It washer than that. It was

133
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: twenty It was equal to a twenty eight story building.

134
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: Imagine that on top of the damn and it just

135
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: came down crazy and washed villages away. You're you're just

136
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: sitting there in Italy and sixty three enjoining your grappa,

137
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: having a good time. Not for long now, but apparently

138
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: it took full two minutes to get down there to

139
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: wipe out the village. How long two minutes from what

140
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: I read, that's like the MUDs like in Guatemala, no warning. No,

141
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: And there's also some in China that apparently have been

142
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: pretty disastrous thanks to it. A damn there, the three

143
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: gorgeous damn, which is pretty famous. Dam it's on the

144
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Yanks River, right, Yeah, they were kind of worried about

145
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: that one. Yeah, and they kind of should be from

146
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: what I understand. Uh As whenever just about any time

147
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: they raise or lower the um the reservoir or when

148
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: they initially filled it, landslide started happening. And there was

149
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: one in two thousand seven that buried a bus. I

150
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: guess it just kind of caught him unawares. What a

151
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: horrific death to be buried in a bus, but well,

152
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: to be buried alive in any way, but bus would

153
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: probably be badly bus You ever taking a bus trip? Yes,

154
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: I would not want to bury a bus trip, Nor

155
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: would I because you're like, I can't believe I'm surrounded

156
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: by these people while I'm alive, you know. Yeah, not

157
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: to make light of it. No, when to come across

158
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: as insensitive. No, so chuck. Um, these are just landslides

159
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 1: we're talking about. That's that's a totally different you know,

160
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: destabilizing the dirt that holds up mountain rock is totally

161
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: different from an earthquake. Right. Indeed, so how do we

162
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: get to uh, the reservoir induced seizedmicity? How do we

163
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: how do we get to a dam creating an earthquake? Well,

164
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: in the case of the one in China, um, the

165
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Zipping Poo dam. It's fifty stories tall. It can store

166
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: more than one billion cubic meters of water from the

167
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: min Jong River. So all of a sudden you have

168
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: a regular river and then all of a sudden it

169
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: weighs you know, a billion cubic meters more. Well, that's

170
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: not a weight, but you know what I mean. So

171
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: that's gonna create some a lot more pressure on the

172
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: ground beneath it. Right, there's a fault line there, then

173
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: you're in big trouble. Yeah, and um, we don't really

174
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: know whether there are fault lines there. Um, when we're

175
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: constructing dams. It turns out, apparently there is a survey

176
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 1: in n by the World Bank that found that forty

177
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: nine projects, like more than three quarters of them that

178
00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: were surveyed all had unexpected geology geological activity, right, And

179
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: apparently it costs millions of millions to do a survey

180
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: of an area and you may find that, yeah, there's

181
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: a fault line there that we didn't know about. So

182
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: companies who build damns oftentimes don't want to know that

183
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: whether or not there's a fault line there. I've seen

184
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: that that not a lot of research goes in well,

185
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to say not a lot of research,

186
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: but many times not enough research goes into the underground situations. Right.

187
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: And for the three gorgeous um damn there were there.

188
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: Actually it's built over two fault lines and they're just

189
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: waiting for this thing to blow apparently, Yeah, and they

190
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,599
Speaker 1: said it might be a big one too. So with

191
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight earthquake, China kind of got

192
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: into this issue of reservoir induce seismicity, and it's already

193
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: kind of cloudy. It's kind of one of those um walks,

194
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: like a duck scenarios, because you have um, you have

195
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: increased seismic activity in areas as reservoirs are being filled,

196
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: you have um earthquakes that that people weren't expecting, right obviously,

197
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: but even geologists weren't expecting seismologists um with an epicenter

198
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: under the dam. Right, So it's like, yes, damns are

199
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: creating earthquakes, um. But again there's a lot of money

200
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: at stake. If people become more aware of r I s,

201
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: which is what people in the NO call it, then

202
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: people who live downstream from a dam are gonna want

203
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: their houses earthquake proof, which is gonna raise the costs

204
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: through the roof. And they're not gonna do that, right,

205
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: And like I said, with China now and it's it's

206
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: become obviously scated even further. Yeah, because in a case

207
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: of China, there's probably a lot of houses that need

208
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: to be retrofitted. Well, not just that the the government's

209
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: politically in the hot seat right now and the earthquake

210
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand and eight, they tried to distance themselves

211
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: because it was a government project. And building a damn

212
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: in and of itself is it's a very utilitarian pursuit.

213
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: If a dam can create an earthquake and kill people

214
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: or their landslides, and that kills people because you're helping,

215
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, x number of people, Like the Zipping Pooh

216
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: dam generates like sixty kilowatts kilowatt hours of electricity. Oh yeah,

217
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 1: sure you do. But at the same time, so it's

218
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: kind of like, Okay, well there's a bus full of

219
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: people that just got buried, but we have all this electricity.

220
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: So when you throw that in, when you throw the

221
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: money in and then um, paper in the journal, uh,

222
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 1: the Journal of Environmental Law and Litigation. Do you get

223
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: that it sounds like a it does? It concluded that

224
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: people in other countries who were um affected by reservoir

225
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: and in due seismicity from American built dams had legal

226
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: grounds to see those people in the US for damages. Basically,

227
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,959
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people out there who are like

228
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: rs doesn't exist, but it does. Yeah, uh. And you

229
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: know it's not just the water pressure sitting on top

230
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: of these plates that can cause it. What also happens

231
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: is the water seeps down in there and fills up

232
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: all the little cracks. And if there's way more water

233
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: doing this, then that can cause uh, fractures to become

234
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: larger or to shift around, and that you know, that

235
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: might be one of the reasons to right. And it

236
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: also lubricates, it doesn't it. It goes down to these

237
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 1: faulans because you think about it, like you have tectonic plates,

238
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: you have fault lines where the earth is basically sitting

239
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: like just on the tiniest ledge of one plate over another,

240
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: and if you get some water in there and loop

241
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: it up, then they slip and you have an earthquake.

242
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: It's called poor pressure, my friend. It's poor pressure is

243
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: the fluid pressure in the pores and the fractures of

244
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,599
Speaker 1: the rocks, and um the acts against the weight of

245
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: the rocks. So when poor pressure is low, the imbalance

246
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: of what they call it in situ earth. Have you

247
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 1: ever heard that phrase? Uh doesn't mean like um stable

248
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: bedrock or something like that sort of it's Latin egg.

249
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: It can mean a bunch of different things, but in

250
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: case of the Earth, it means uh. In the place

251
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: is in water or oil that hasn't been extracted yet

252
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah yeah, or gas. Let's say, whatever is

253
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: down there, any kind of natural earth. UM. So the

254
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: imbalance of the institute earth stresses UH will cause the

255
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 1: occasional earthquake. And if the poor pressure is increased, then

256
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: it takes a lot less of an imbalance for these

257
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: to get out of whack. And one of the reasons

258
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: that that might happen is if you inject something into

259
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: the subsurface, or if you extract something from the subsurface,

260
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: like maybe oil or water or gas. Yea. And that

261
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: all made sense because I've I've often posed the question

262
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: does the earth need it's oil, Like, you know, we're

263
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: extracting oil, but maybe it has a really vital function

264
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: down there, maybe it's a lubricant. I kind of found

265
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: out that that wasn't necessarily true that you know, if

266
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: we pull out all the oil from me, well, we

267
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: can't pull out all the oil. I think it leaves

268
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: about a third they they leave at least a third

269
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: in all reservoirs because we just don't have the technology

270
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: to get But what I what I gathered from researching

271
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: this a little bit today is that it doesn't necessarily

272
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: it's such a small amount still compared to the density

273
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: of the earth that these like small empty pockets might

274
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: make things move around and cause like some minor tremors,

275
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: But it's not like we're going to have the big

276
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: one one day if we tap the oil out of

277
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: the earth. But we also use like water injection technology

278
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: to BINGO and that can cause an earthquake, right, Yeah,

279
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: and that's when you you inject like steam or water

280
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: or c O two to either move the oil around

281
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: or heat it up make it more viscous, and that

282
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: means it will flow to a channel where it's easier

283
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: to tap it. Or they do that for water wells too,

284
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: to make water more readily available. I think there were

285
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: some earthquakes and surprising earthquakes in Colorado in the nineties

286
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: that had to do with natural gas drilling. Yeah. Well,

287
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 1: you know the other thing they do is they inject

288
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: waste water into the earth. I did not know that.

289
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: I didn't either. I always wondered where it went. Well,

290
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: a lot of they read assume we were all drinking it. Well,

291
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a certain amount we do, but there's

292
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: way more wastewater than there are mouths to drink it.

293
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: So evidently they'll drill down into the earth and inject.

294
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: They'll supposedly clean it. They supposedly they clean it. Yeah,

295
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: I've never witnessed it. But why would they lie? Why

296
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: would they lie? I don't know. I mean, who would

297
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: lie when money is at stakes? So they inject the

298
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: waste water back into the earth. And that's you know,

299
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: hasn't create any problems thus far. Yeah, yet, who knows. Uh,

300
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: there was I remember we talked about like carbon sequestration.

301
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: Uh once were we were talking about taking C O two, remember,

302
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: capturing it from smoke stacks and then putting it into

303
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: the and we were wondering, like, what what effect is

304
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: that going to have? Who knows? Probably well, we'll all

305
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: find out what when we do hit the big ones

306
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: from removing oil and then injecting like carbon c O

307
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: two into the earth, what happens. So many of these

308
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: studies are all like, O, don't no, it's not doing anything.

309
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: But like I'm of the belief that holding a cell

310
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: phone up to your brain it's gonna cause some damage.

311
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: Another saying no, it doesn't. But we haven't studied anyone

312
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: who's done it for thirty years every day, right, Yeah,

313
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: it's a good point. And then I found like a

314
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: little computer, you know, I know it's like d d

315
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: D D D d D. I think we're gonna see

316
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: some fallout from that in about years. Brother, you know,

317
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: conger over it stuff. Mom never told you wrote it? Uh?

318
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: An article on cell phones making a sterile, keep it

319
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: in your pocket, yeah, next to the boys. Yeah, I

320
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: don't want to do that, so chuck. One more thing.

321
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: We should say very specifically that even though people it

322
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: seems like there is a consensus that r S does exist, right, yes, um,

323
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of people who want to downplay it.

324
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: Like the Chinese pointed out that prior to this earthquake

325
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: that the in in such Uan in two thousand and eight,

326
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: the biggest r a S linked earthquake happened in nineteen

327
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: sixty seven in India and it was like six point

328
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: five and they point that that was the biggest ever

329
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: that was induced by a dam. So we're not entirely

330
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: certain how how how big these things can be UM

331
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: or how how much dams can contribute. But again, we

332
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: don't really know what we're doing building dams either do

333
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: we mining too that can cause them? And I also

334
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: read that UM building construction like that tower in Taipei,

335
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: that that caused some minor earthquakes because it was so big.

336
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: That's gotta put hair on your chest if you're the

337
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: project manager of of of a project that causes earthquakes. Yeah,

338
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: and we should also point out lastly dams can't create

339
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: earthquakes all by themselves. They have to be a bunch

340
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: of factors present. Like it has to be built on

341
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: a fault line. It has to be huge. The dam,

342
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 1: I think, has to be at least a hundred meters

343
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: high to create earthquakes that really register. But pretty much

344
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: anytime you build a dam like around a fault line,

345
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: seismic a activity increases as you fill it up. So

346
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. Yeah, we're not anti damn. We should

347
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: point that out. We love damns. Yeah, I guess that's it, right,

348
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: I think, so, I won't have anything else. All right, Well,

349
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: if you want to read a little more about this

350
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: and see some gripping pictures, you can type in humans

351
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: and earthquakes. I think that'll probably bring this article up right. Probably,

352
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: So this episode of stuff you should know. It's brought
