The number of earthquakes is less significant than the direct impact. Mine blasts cause it regularly technically so just going by earthquake count is sensationalist.

It would be like counting the number of explosions in a city including car engines and every bullet fired, firecrackers, car bombs, artillery shells, and every airdropped bomb or warhead equally.

The groundwater contamination and greenhouse gas releases are more significant reason why to disallow it.
