Fracking has not led to Increased Volcanic Activity in Hawaii

An article written by the news site YourNewsWire, published on May 30th of 2018, claims that increased volcanic activity in Hawaii is linked to the fracking operations on the islands. The website primarily deals in conspiracy theories surrounding corrupt governments and aliens. The website Snopes disproves their claim by outlining the inconsistencies in YourNewsWire's statements. Chief among the Snopes article's points was the fact that fracking "does not occur anywhere on Hawaii, as there are no petroleum reserves for which to frack." Snopes also points out that the YourNewsWire article accuses Hawaiian companies of triggering volcanic activity without any evidence.
