**Tree Hugger - *When two small earthquakes struck near Blackpool,
England in April and May, suspicious eyes turned toward the hydraulic
fracturing operation in the area. In a move few expected, Cuadrilla
Resources, admitted that its shale fracking operations were indeed
responsible.
Cuadrilla explained the findings of an investigation of the tremors:
|||| It is highly probable that the hydraulic fracturing of Cuadrilla's
Preese Hall-1 well did trigger a number of minor seismic events.
The seismic events were due to an unusual combination of geology at the
well site coupled with the pressure exerted by water injection as part
of operations.
This combination of geological factors was extremely rare and would be
unlikely to occur together again at future well sites. ||||

Well, its a tiny crack in the oilcloth.
