Here is a chart of the number of earthquakes in Oklahoma.  Can you guess when Fracking started to become widespread in the state?




Probably just a crazy coincidence, right?

It's not because of Climate Change?? I thought everything was.

In all seriousness, I lived there for 21 years, and never even knew what an earth quake was. Left there in 90's and thought it was a fairly safe place (other than tornadoes). And ya, it's a big coincidence, but someone's getting well greased pockets cause if I was in office that'd be one of the first things I make illegal.
