People Near Wyoming Fracking Town Show Elevated Levels of Toxic Chemicals

InsideClimate: A new study brings researchers and environmental advocates closer than ever to tracing whether toxic chemicals spewing out of natural gas production sites are making their way into the bodies of people who live and work nearby. The research, published last week, brought together for the first time air monitoring at oil and gas sites with what's called biomonitoring--the tracking of what's in human tissues or fluids. The results indicate harmful compounds were emitted from certain gas sites near...

Judge: US Agency Lacks Authority to Set Rules on Fracking

Associated Press: A judge ruled Tuesday that federal regulators lack the authority to set rules for hydraulic fracturing, dealing another setback to the Obama administration's efforts to tighten how fossil fuels are mined.

It can only be published when the secretary of state for energy has responded. Green...

The Book Fracking Industry Doesnt Want You to Read

EcoWatch: My new book, Frackopoly: The Battle for the Future of Energy and the Environment will be released this week and I want to tell you why I wrote it. In the 1990s, I worked on a project to promote renewable energy. Even then, renewables were ready. They were cost-effective and along with energy efficiency technologies, we were poised to make the transition. But, the fossil fuel industry used its immense power to stop the necessary progress from happening. When we started getting calls about...
