EARTHQUAKE! [IS]

April 24, 2015

Fracking is very dangerous…
The U.S. Geological Survey released a report this week linking the oil and gas industry’s practice of “waterwaste disposal” to the sharp increase of earthquakes in Oklahoma.
According to a story by Yahoo News’ Michael Walsh, “The seismicity rate in Oklahoma is about 600 times greater than it was before 2008, around the time dewatering started in the state.
Just last year, 585 magnitude 3+ earthquakes hit Oklahoma — compared with 109 in 2013.”
