You know, we've been out there. i was just out there a couple of weeks ago. and i'm from l.a. i haven't felt an earthquake in a while. all a sudden, we're all going, uh, earthquake? so it's very concerning to the people who live there. they feel very fearful. and they want information and facts. look, we want the oil and gas industry to be a good neighbor and do what they need to do, right, environmentally. this has happened. it's a problem. and they could reduce it even further, but in the future the chance of a 6.0 earthquake or greater is still going to exist. >> okay, we're seeing magnitud...

So what more needs to be done? >> well, they have done that. a and, you know, they can continue to reduce that even further. so the damage has been done though. the horse is out of the barn, if you will. because scientists saying even if they continue to do that, in the future, this risk of a 5.0, 6.0 or greater will continue for those in oklahoma. >> and how long into the future does the risk continue? i mean, is it a couple of years? is it a decade? is it longer? >> oh, it could be a decade or longer or decades. you know, in 2014, where it was about 12 billion barrels of waste water was deep...
