Oil CEO Wanted University Quake Scientists Fired

quote [ The billionaire CEO of Continental Resources told a dean at the University of Oklahoma that he wanted earthquake researchers dismissed ]

If you can't beat 'em, fire 'em. Or something. This is why tenure for college professors is a good thing.

I lived in Dallas for decades and just moved to Southern California. Ironically, while my old hometown is now known for earthquakes (of the fracking variety, even if the State of Texas won't admit that) and my new one definitely is (Los Angeles) I still have yet to feel an earthquake. Moved at exactly the right time.

My first SE post. Evar. It probably sucks.
