MAY 2, 2014: Scientists Warn of Quake Risk From Fracking Operations, Tremors induced by waste-water disposal are larger and harder to predict than previously thought.

Cornell University geophysics professor Katie Keranen, is the latest of many scientific studies showing a probable connection between earthquakes and drilling-related activity across the country. Specifically, the quakes are linked not to the fuel extraction itself, but to a process called “waste-water injection,” in which companies take the leftover water used to frack wells and inject it deep into the ground. 2,500 Oklahoma Earthquakes Linked To Fracking.
