Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
-- Lennon/McCartney/1967
Who knew that a bit past 50 years later, they would turn out to be prophets.
Three months later, after regularly causing earthquakes, the fracking has stopped, and the company has begun pulling some equipment from the site.
The company, Cuadrilla Resources, says it will continue to work in the cow pasture near Blackpool in Lancashire, seeking to extract natural gas economically and safely from the shale rocks. But so far, its results have failed to win over skeptics.
To be strictly accurate, Blackpool is 24 miles from Blackburn, but, you know, black folks do live together.
