United Kingdom: Fracking faces a little local difficulty
2013-08-21 21:09:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Telegraph: The Balcombe protest may be annoying but it has also been pretty effective. The brouhaha over Cuadrilla's attempts to explore local oil deposits has included celebrities, guitars, bongos, compost toilets and a vegan snack bar. It even involved the arrest of the Green MP, Caroline Lucas. It has shattered the tranquillity of the pretty Sussex village -- and raised concerns about fracking. But no matter how much noise these visiting activists make, they aren't the ones who could really wreck the Government's...

Obama supports the technology as an economic windfall that helps make the country more energy independent. He's expected to find supporters as well as protesters from environmental groups when he visits Syracuse and Binghamton late this week. Parts of central New York and the Southern Tier...
United Kingdom: Fracking: the Battle of Balcombe is far from over
2013-08-20 14:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: What do bloody clashes on the streets of Cairo have in common with anti-fracking protests against the Cuadrilla exploration rig in rural West Sussex? At a stretch, what links the Battle of Balcombe, which so outrages Tory Fleet Street, with harassment of the Guardian over Edward Snowden's data-mining disclosures? In terms of substance, not a lot connects a constitutional battle for the Egyptian presidency, an environmental tussle in a prosperous corner of Britain and a debate over national security,...
