Harm set and harm get. 1 in 5 jobs in Oklahoma come from energy industry sector. In 2007, Oklahoma only had 1 mag-3 earthquake and 907 mag-3 or above in 2015. The culprit: 3 billion barrels of wastewater coming with shale oil were injected back to the earth which reactivated the fault line that had been slumbering for 300 million years. No free lunch for the oil boom.
