As someone who lives in Oklahoma and suffers through daily earthquakes I would like to thank Saudi Arabia for loving with frackers.

Although I feel like if Saudi Arabia doesn't drive them into bankruptcy, the class action lawsuits certainly will. They're causing billions of dollars worth of damage to buildings.

The types of earthquakes caused by fracking are virtually imperceptible to people- who gives a gently caress if the number of 2-3.0 earthquakes is vastly higher it's utterly irrelevant. Fracking just seems like one of those issues where the strongest arguments against is are "the other party likes it", because there's no legitimate argument against fracking where the wastewater is properly handled.

You can totally notice a 3.0 earthquake, it does damage to infrastructure over time, and also raises the likelihood of Magnitude 5 and higher earthquakes.

Oil subsidies are great

Too bad they're not doing anything useful with it.

I had no clue Kuwait was outproducing Saudi Arabia.

As glutted as oil production is right now, imagine if Iraq never got toppled and was producing as much as it could, too.

That's a ratio of oil production to population, not total production. Kuwait has ~3.3m people, Saudi Arabia has ~28.5m.

Why would they label it that way? Per capita *consumption* makes sense but production seems weird.
