As fracking expands at a frenzied pace in several states and federal officials consider allowing fracking near national parks and forests and key drinking water sources, Who Pays the Costs of Fracking? reveals current bonding requirements are inadequate to...
Bowland Shale fracking could reignite UK economy and cut CO2 emissions
2013-07-16 15:16:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: In late June the British Geological Survey announced the world's largest shale-gas field. The Bowland Shale, which lies beneath Lancashire and Yorkshire, contains 50% more gas than the combined reserves of two of the largest fields in the United States, the Barnett Shale and the Marcellus Shale. The United Kingdom has been reluctant to join the hydraulic-fracturing (or fracking) revolution. Yet tapping the Bowland Shale could reignite the UK economy and deliver huge cuts in CO2 emissions. At...

Frac-Sand Mining Boom Adds to Growing List of Fracking Dangers
2013-07-15 21:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
EcoWatch: Barely a day now goes by without further evidence of the harm of fracking. Last Thursday scientists reported new compelling evidence of the link between fracking and earthquakes. The scientists argue that, due to fracking, U.S. earthquakes have become approximately five times more common in recent years. The journal Science reported that there have been more than 300 earthquakes above magnitude three on the Richter scale, which are therefore deemed significant, from 2010 to 2012. This equates...
