You should spend some time researching drilling and earthquakes.
You can easily track Earthquakes through RSS feed here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/catalogs/
Or just review the site here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsus/
You will see a pattern in non-Earthquake prone areas. Drilling has already been found to be the issue in UK:

Hey, thanks for the link. I found it so useful.
I was so annoyed that the guy that introduced things and moderated questions took up so much time.Bug out, buddy, with your oh-so-clever nonsense and let us hear the experts. Otherwise, very informative. How do you choose just one issue? That's a tall order!
I have to admit that I got impatient, too. The moderator did take up precious time. I was not in the mood for poetry and philisophical issues. He is an esteemed person, so I don't want to criticize too harshly. And the whole event was sponsored by the Jewish Temple, so there was a religious aspect to it.
Choosing one issue is a challenge I agree! I haven't written my letter yet for that very reason! I have heard that the DEC has received only about 2500 letters, so many more are needed.
I love the religious aspects too this.
