Is fracking causing earthquakes in Oklahoma? searching the web gives conflicted results. It seems a lot of the locals are blaming "waste-water" and directly saying fracking is not the culprit

As part of the fracking process, waste water is created which needs to be disposed of in separate deep wells. It is these deep wells that are correlated (likely causal) with the earthquakes.
However, these earthquakes are large enough to be felt but very rarely cause damage. So it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Yea. It's fracking retarded

Yes, they basically said that very thing and started banning fracking there.

The earthquakes are a national security threat: bloomberg.com
We need to send in seal team six to kill those fault lines and show them whose boss.

The USGS says that:
>Most of these earthquakes are in the magnitude 3–4 range, large enough to have been felt by many people, yet small enough to rarely cause damage.
Do you think a google image search with images from "offthegridnews.com" or "breitbart.com" is a more reputable source?
