New York Times: California drillers eager to use hydraulic fracturing to tap the nations largest oil shale formation will face comprehensive regulation for the first time next year under rules issued this week. The rules take effect on Jan. 1, though they will be replaced a year later by permanent regulations that are still being developed but are expected to be similar. In September, Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law that established the outlines for the regulations. The new rules require drillers to alert neighboring...

Telegraph: Mate, came the admission of the week so far, we are getting smashed. It was delivered by Allan Campbell, the Australian (as you might have guessed) founder of Caudrilla Resources, the leading fracking firm, who has been described as the godfather of Britain's nascent shale gas industry.
