Poll: two-thirds of Britons favour wind power over fracking
2014-04-14 09:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Blue and Green: A new survey has revealed that almost two-thirds of Britons would choose to live near a wind farm over a fracking site. The findings have led to the government being accused of ignoring public opinion. The YouGov poll, commissioned by renewable energy firm Ecotricity, found that 62% of participants if forced to choose would prefer to have a wind farm in their local council area. In comparison, 19% said they would prefer to live near to a fracking site. The findings are broadly similar to...

Ohio links fracking with earthquakes, announces tougher rules
2014-04-11 20:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Recent small earthquakes in Ohio were likely triggered by fracking, state regulators said on Friday, a new link that could have implications for oil and gas drilling in the Buckeye State and beyond. In the strongest wording yet from the state linking energy drilling and quakes, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) said that injecting sand, water and chemicals deep underground to help release oil and gas may have produced tremors in Poland Township last month. The statement, in which...

Ohio Earthquakes Linked To Fracking, A First For Region
2014-04-11 19:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: Geologists in Ohio have for the first time linked earthquakes in a geologic formation deep under the Appalachians to hydraulic fracturing, leading the state to issue new permit conditions Friday in certain areas that are among the nation's strictest. A state investigation of five small tremors last month in the Youngstown area, in the Appalachian foothills, found the injection of sand and water that accompanies hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in the Utica Shale may have increased pressure on...
State geologists in Ohio link seismic activity to fracking
2014-04-11 12:28:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: State geologists in Ohio have for the first time linked earthquake activity in the Marcellus Shale basin to hydraulic fracturing, confirming the suspicions of activists pushing for drilling limits in the interest of public health. State Oil & Gas Chief Rick Simmers told The Associated Press on Friday that a state investigation of five small tremors in the Youngstown area last month has found a probable link. He said Ohio is setting new permitting conditions in earthquake-sensitive areas and...
