Blackpool residents said it was a bit creepy. Then the earthquakes hit... ;)

The earthquakes are probably a result of the fracking process. The quakes are small and not worth worrying about.

No they're not.

There have been earthquakes in Lancashire, North Wales and Cumbria for as long as I can remember.

It's been rumoured to have made dozens of pounds of improvements. ;)

Yes they could be down to anything, and natural quakes are also very possible. These are not major quakes and most people would not notice them. I never noticed the quakes in the midlands when I was living there, and they were of similar sizes.

Actually, from what I've read, the vast majority of fracking horror stories stem from the fact that it is so poorly regulated (in the states at least) that operators are using cheaper, more dangerous chemicals and are not lining the holes properly, or at all in some cases.

There are no regulations. I read somewhere that there are multitudes of gagging orders about such cases, so it all seems fine.

You should have read l3v1ck's link, which points out in detail that claim is a total lie.

Or you could exist in the real world for a while, in which case you would understand that claims like "Fracking is unregulated" are, of course, always a lie.
