National Journal: How can you be in a relationship with someone who doesn't want to be in a relationship with you? That's the challenge facing Interior Secretary Sally Jewell when she recently visited with oil executives here and sought to explain why the federal government thinks it's necessary to regulate drilling operations. "I appreciate what's happening in the Bakken," Jewell told reporters after touring a Continental Resources drilling rig on the Bakken rock-shale formation deep below Williston earlier this...
Britains Furor Over Fracking

New York Times: The lovely green hills of the High Weald are Tory country, a corner of West Sussex full of affluent residents who commute to London and like their golf and ambles and thatched cottages.

The two agendas against fracking
2013-08-25 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

When I read that, I assumed that the cities ahead of Denver were places like Houston and Dallas. Then I read more carefully -- Denver wasn't third in the United States but third in the world, right behind Dubai and Calgary, and, as such, first in the United States as the place to be if your business is oil and gas.
