His proposals for fighting global warming without congressional help didnt go as far as many of his supporters might have liked. Frankly, they didnt go as far as programs California already has in place. But at this point, environmentalists will take whatever federal climate change action they can get. They certainly liked his comments on the Keystone XL pipeline. But the speech was also notable for...

Grist: While the EPA has been dumping and delaying studies of frackings effects on drinking water, new academic research reveals that people who live near natural gas wells in Pennsylvania are drinking the same gases that the frackers are pumping out from the shale beneath their feet. Researchers from Duke University, the University of Rochester, and California State Polytechnic University found dissolved methane, which is the main ingredient in natural gas, in water pumped from 82 percent of drinking...
