Mark Miller moved his company, Cuadrilla Resources, from Pennsylvania to Blackpool,”a seaside resort on the west coast of England.” They started fracking and two earthquakes happened.
The quakes left Blackpool-area residents “angry and distressed,” says Philip Mitchell, chairman of the local Green Party. “They’ve told me they feel like guinea pigs.”

Miller says there is no proof that fracking causes earthquakes. That could be true, maybe earthquakes like water and air contamination are just following fracking all over the globe for the expressed purpose of persecuting the poor, poor Big Gas Mafia.

Mr. Chazan do you homework before you make false statements. Maybe we should all go back to wood for heat, and buy a horse for transportation. Fracking has been going on for over 60 years and with no direct connection to air or water contamination..Do your homework……
