La localidad de Cushing, en Oklahoma, guarda la mayor reserva privada de petóleo de los USA (60 millones de barriles). En los últimos meses, el aumento de terremotos en la zona, presumiblemente relacionados con el fracking, hacen temer por la seguridad de esa zona tan estratégica.

"Seismologists believe the quakes are the result of wastewater injection wells used by the fracking industry. Horizontal oil wells in Oklahoma can produce as many as nine or 10 barrels of salty, toxin-laced water for every barrel of oil. Much of that fluid is injected back underground into wastewater disposal wells. It is this water, injected near faults, that many seismologists—including those at the U.S. Geological Survey—say has caused the spike in earthquakes."
