I'm comparing injecting liquid at high pressure deep underground to injecting liquid at high pressure deep underground. The ultimate purpose is different in both cases, but the activity and consequences are quite similar. If you want to expound on the differences, and why the earthquakes have risen twenty-fold in Oklahoma and other fracking sites, I'm genuinely interested.
I carry no preconceived notions into this discussion, and merely sought to share with the poster information he was clearly unaware of.
And leaving out the length of time that happens. Fracking goes on for a short period of time. An injection well happens for years.

That deserves its own study, and I'm sure we will get several of varying quality, depending upon the agenda of who is doing a given study. However, it's an apples-to-oranges comparison.
And it's not like the earthquakes that occur in the vicinity of fracking locations are major ones.
