I've never heard any seismologist holding a responsible office blaming the Ridgecrest quake on any man-made cause. The links posted do not support that claim either.

Do you have any information which directly supports this?

Unclear in this situation, but fracking, petroleum extraction, and geothermal plants are implicated in earthquakes [https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2019/05/lessons-south-kore...] - depending on how it is done.
