Drilling Caused Earthquake

 According to a story in the U.K.’s Blackpool Gazette  on 10/15/2011, British energy chiefs have sent a stark warning to shale gas company Cuadrillo Resources to stop the tremors or be shut down. It comes as the company held urgent talks with the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) to consider a report about the risk of earthquakes associated with fracking. The meetings followed the British Geological Survey’s (BGS) conclusion that two recent earth tremors felt nearby were most likely caused by fracking. See story at blackpoolgazette.co.uk
