Scientists say wastewater injection from hydraulic fracturing was linked to a magnitude-5.7 earthquake that struck the US state of Oklahoma in 2011.
If the earthquake doesn’t kill you, the global warming will.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Then don’t inject waste water into wells. Let it evaporate.
Or reuse the fracking fluids in the next well.
Or use propane instead of water as the fracking fluid so there’s no waste to dispose of.
Likely that if the injection had anything to do with the quake, it relieved pressure that was already present and may have averted a larger quake later. This is not new. We discovered this in the sixties when the Rocky Mountain Arsenal injected waste water into rock strata in Colorado.
