What is causing a huge spike in earthquakes in Oklahoma?

[eh1eh]

As logical as anything the anti fracking crowd has come up with.

One difference. Fracking and its consequences to the environment are real.

A dramatic uptick in earthquakes has been shaking central Oklahoma this year, continuing a recent trend of unusually high earthquake activity in the state and leading scientists to speculate about a possible link to oil and gas production there.
The US Geological Survey found that from 1975 to 2008, central Oklahoma experienced one to three 3.0-magnitude earthquakes a year, compared with an average of forty per year from 2009 to 2013. And it looks like that number is going to get bigger. It’s only February, and the state has already logged more than twenty-five quakes of 3.0-magnitude or larger this year, and more than 150 total quakes in the past week alone.

Can't possibly have anything to do with fracturing the Earth's crust? No. Humans couldn't be that stupid. We have University degrees taking care of business after all.
