Frack! The earth's moving!

(From the SST - article not online so far as I can see.)

Rules toughening for quake-inducing fracking


A SERIES of small earthquakes in Ohio last year was probably caused by activity from fracking , a controversial oil and gas drilling technique, a state review has concluded."

There ya go. A state review into the series of earthquakes. Who could argue with that? The NZ Government, naturally enough.

""Last month the New Zealand Government rejected a call for a moratorium on hydraulic fracking from Christchurch City Council after a public outcry."

Did you catch the Sunday programme last night...interesting piece on fracking in Dallas...enough to make JR Ewing think twice.

Only the tail-end, Suz. Over on 3, 60 Minutes was promising an in-depth look at fracking next Sunday. I'll catch that, if I can.
I don't think JR or those of 'his' ilk are capable of thinking twice.
