American drillers in Utah and Colorado are currently poking into a massive shale deposit in order to try and find a way to unlock the massive amounts of oil reserves hidden inside it. It is believed that the contents “equals the entire world’s proven oil reserves.”

In it, British ministers have been informed that they should allow the controversial process of fracking for shale gas to be extended there, this despite the process having been blamed for causing two earthquakes.
