The oil and gas industry in Oklahoma wants to deny the effects of fracking leading to earthquakes at the lower levels of the earth's surface that has greatly increased in recent years. They say the increase occurred before fracking was instituted.
Nevertheless, I think it's clear as reported--that 1) the method of fracking to extract oil uses much more water than ordinary methods; and, as reported in a recent 60 Minute Show, 2) a state near Oklahoma (Kansas?) cut back on deploying fracking by closing several wells where it was used, and noted a decrease in its number of earthquakes.
