BusinessGreen: A US mining company is suing the Government of Quebec for violating free trade rules, after the Canadian province stopped it from fracking in its territory.

EcoWatch: As federal policy makers decide on rules for fracking on public lands, a new report calculates the toll of this dirty drilling on our environment, including 280 billion gallons of toxic wastewater generated by fracking in 2012--enough to flood all of Washington, DC, in a 22-foot deep toxic lagoon. The Environment America Research & Policy Center report, Fracking by the Numbers, is the first to measure the damaging footprint of fracking to date. The numbers don`t lie--fracking has taken a dirty...
