Officials, now, believe that fracking is not the cause of earthquakes.
The real problem is the disposal of wastewater.

Instead, drillers pump fluid back underground below groundwater, into wells where it sometimes triggers earthquakes.
Oil companies injected more than 1.1 billion barrels of wastewater into the ground.
Oklahoma now has an earthquake rate 600 times higher than its pre-fracking rate.
