Regulator halts fracking operations in northeastern B.C. while investigating earthquakes

        December 7, 2018 CBC | Canada | fossil fuels: fracking

The British Columbia oil and gas regulator has shut down fracking for a month near Fort St. John after 2 seismic events between 3.4 and 4.5 Richter were measured, just under the world's largest fracking-induced 4.6-earthquake nearby in 2015. The local Chamber of Commerce opposed the shutdown, citing insufficient evidence about the link.
