Just to illustrate the point, between 1977 and 2008, there were only 28 earthquakes in Oklahoma: less than 1 per year. Between 2009 and 2010, the state experienced 134 earthquakes: an average of 95 quakes per year. That’s a huge difference. And it simply can not be attributed to a fault line or natural causes.
Sounds scary – worth reading up on.

@WookieeBoy @alexkingorg We’re investigating minor earthquakes in the UK which could have been caused by fracking. Seems ill advised.
