Pat - You mis-read the article - calm down now. They said: So the National Science Foundation will explore that critical environment - if Congress approves the $17.4 million project - as early as next year. As part of project EarthScope, quake researchers hope to create a geological "microscope" by drilling a hole beside the San Andreas at one of its most active regions, turning their drill 45[degrees] at 11/2 miles deep, and then boring right through the fault. This would give scientists their first direct access to an earthquake-initiation site, where they could set up monitors to observe changes in temperature, fluid pressure, gas composition and all the other vital signs of geological activity. Nothing there says they are going to attempt to trigger a quake. They even admit that if they tried it could backfire and that would be the end of their jobs.
