Scientists uncover high radioactivity near fracking site in Pennsylvania
2013-10-07 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Scientists have for the first time found dangerous levels of radioactivity and salinity at a shale gas waste disposal site that could contaminate drinking water. If the UK follows in the steps of the US "shale gas revolution", it should impose regulations to stop such radioactive buildup, they said. The Duke University study, published on Wednesday, examined the water discharged from Josephine Brine Treatment Facility into Blacklick Creek, which feeds into a water source for western Pennsylvania...

Fracking produces annual toxic waste water enough to flood Washington DC
2013-10-07 10:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Fracking in America generated 280 billion US gallons of toxic waste water last year - enough to flood all of Washington DC beneath a 22 feet deep toxic lagoon, a new report out on Thursday found. The report from campaign group Environment America said America's transformation into an energy superpower was exacting growing costs on the environment. "Our analysis shows that damage from fracking is widespread and occurs on a scale unimagined just a few years ago," the report, Fracking by the Numbers,...

Is NY fracking a good idea? Look at Pennsylvania
2013-10-06 12:27:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
CNBC: First was Texas. Next came Pennsylvania and North Dakota. Could New York become the next U.S. shale hotspot? It's a tantalizing prospect for some, given that the Empire State sits atop not one but two prolific shale formations, the Marcellus and the Utica. According to the most recent data from the United States Geological Survey, both have more than a combined 100 trillion cubic feet of estimated natural gas reserves. Should New York overcome its deep reluctance to drill for natural gas, some...

Radioactive Water From Fracking Found in Pennsylvania Creek According to Duke Study
2013-10-04 18:49:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: A Duke University study published Wednesday in the journal Environmental Science and Technology, found dangerously high levels of radiation in a creek near a drilling wastewater treatment facility in Pennsylvania. The study, Impacts of Shale Gas Wastewater Disposal on Water Quality in Western Pennsylvania, was conducted over a period of two years from the summer of 2010 to the fall of 2012 and analyzed water samples discharged downstream of the Josephine Brine Treatment Facility into Blacklick...
