I read a report that ties fracking in Oklahoma to some of these bigger earthquakes. I know Oklahoma has earthquakes, but when the oil companies denied any connection, that pretty much confirmed for me that there's something to it. It doesn't take much imagination to see how all that water and chemicals injected under high pressure has to have some detrimental effects besides polluting the water, soil, etc.
