Can they frack without injecting the waste water? The two aren't necessarily related. They get water from all wells. There was a segment on 60 minutes a couple of weeks ago and shockingly they admitted it wasn't related to fracking. The waste water is injected way deeper than fracking would occur and in OK the rock formations down there apparently are prone to slipping when lubricated with water. This would happen whether or not any fracking was going on.

Honestly, if there were major damage from it, I would have more concern over it. But, while there has been minor damage, I'm not aware of any substantial damage caused by it. The interest seems to me to stem from general anxiety on the parts of environmentalists. I've just not heard of any major issues with it. For now, fracking is cut way back anyway, so it is likely this temporary market situation will allow time to do further investigation. BUT IF I WERE THE SAUDIS, when I saw my revenue source slipping away and this noise about fracking growing from environmentalists, I would have seized the opportunity by cutting the price of oil to slow down fracking. This would give time for environmentalists to get whipped up into a freaky over it. Works every time.
