Comment Anti-fracking agenda (Score -1) 166
The New Yorker's concern for Oklahomans is touching. It is a place in which they normally would have little interest.Or do they have an agenda? Nowhere in the article did they correlate the epicenter of earthquakes with the depth of drilling. The oil wells are simply too shallow. Nice try guys. South Central Oklahoma's Wichita Mountains are part of the remains of a continental rift system. There are deep normal faults, kilometers deep, and seismically active from time to time. Not unlike the more famous New Madrid fault of the Mississippi to the east. They should take time to learn about the geology of flyover country.
