England has temporarily shut down fracking efforts, suspecting that fracking produced two small earthquakes. More conclusive results are eagerly awaited. It's a pity this couldn't have happened a few weeks ago, so that we'd have a bit more to say. Nevertheless, I expect to give this a paragraph or two in my report:

Yikes, sounds like something from a bad sci-fi movie. The earthquakes were tiny, but just the fact that we could cause them by drilling is pretty frightening.
