Wyoming Replaces U.S. to Study Water Woes Tied to Fracking
2013-06-20 17:20:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: The only finding by U.S. regulators of water contamination from fracking was thrown into doubt yesterday when the federal government halted its investigation and handed the probe over to the State of Wyoming. State officials will now investigate the integrity of gas wells owned by Encana Corp. (ECA) near 14 domestic water wells in Pavillion, Wyoming, while the Environmental Protection Agency stops further work on its draft report from 2011, which linked groundwater woes to hydraulic fracturing,...

A Protest in U.S. Oil Country Spells Trouble for Fracking Abroad
2013-06-18 15:47:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Gardendale, Texas, sits on the Permian Basin, the largest oil province in the United States. That makes it an unlikely site of anti-fracking protests and an even more unlikely bellwether for shale gas drilling activity in Europe and Asia. And yet it is. About 15 residents in the town, population 1,574, are waging an anti-drilling crusade against Berry Petroleum. They have tried to turn Gardendale into an official municipality, which would give them more control over gas exploration and production...

United Kingdom: Indoor fracking installation seeks to provoke debate
2013-06-17 13:58:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: It is one of the biggest, most polarising issues there is, but artists who have created an indoor fracking installation insist they are not trying to sway opinion either way. "We want to create an emotionally engaging experience. People can then go away and come to their own conclusions," said Heiko Hansen, who with his partner, Helen Evans, has recreated the sounds, tremors and flames you would get from a fracking operation. The process of fracking or hydraulic fracturing involves drilling...

Fracking Fuels Water Fights in Nation's Dry Spots
2013-06-16 08:38:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Associated Press: The latest domestic energy boom is sweeping through some of the nation's driest pockets, drawing millions of gallons of water to unlock oil and gas reserves from beneath the Earth's surface. Hydraulic fracturing, or the drilling technique commonly known as fracking, has been used for decades to blast huge volumes of water, fine sand and chemicals into the ground to crack open valuable shale formations. But now, as energy companies vie to exploit vast reserves west of the Mississippi, fracking's...
