Shale gas extraction issues go beyond fracking
2014-09-21 15:21:11| Oil & Gas - Topix.net
Ask oil and gas industry advocates, environmentalists and regulators about the biggest issues facing shale gas development, and none are likely to cite the possibility of fracking fluids traveling up thousands of feet of rock into groundwater aquifers as their top concern. There's surface spills, transportation accidents, leaks in holding tanks and impoundments - all of these have much more potential to pollute groundwater.

Climate Desk: ON A HAZY MORNING LAST SEPTEMBER, 144 American and Chinese government officials and high-ranking oil executives filed into a vaulted meeting room in a cloistered campus in south Xian, a city famous for its terra-cotta warriors and lethal smog. The Communist Party built this compound, called the Shaanxi Guesthouse, in 1958. It was part of the lead-up to Chairman Maos Great Leap Forward, in which, to surpass the industrial achievements of the West, the government built steelworks, coal mines, power...

Climate Desk: Few figures in the climate change debate are as polarizing as former Vice President Al Gore. His fans and his enemies are equally rabid, and his 2006 film An Inconvenient Truth is still probably the most-referenced document on climate change in history. In the last few years, Gores global warming work has mostly been channeled into a nonprofit he oversees called the Climate Reality Project, which organizes rallies and educational events. This week, that group held its annual 24 Hours of Reality...

If natural gas wells used in fracking are contaminating water, why isnt fracking to blame?
2014-09-18 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
WUNC: Big news came out this week about fracking: Duke scientists have found that natural gas wells used in fracking caused contamination in eight drinking water wells in Texas and Pennsylvania. Many of you might have seen the videos of people living near gas exploration sites who can light their tap water on fire, because theres so much methane in it. But the energy industry has solidly defended its position that the gas could be naturally occurring. Theres no evidence fracking caused the contamination....
