2013-05-23 16:26:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Stan Dempsey, an oil and gas lobbyist, raced from one committee hearing to another in Colorados statehouse this spring, defending the industry against an onslaught of bills. While only one of 10 measures passed, the flurry of activity is one of several worrying signs to Dempsey and others in the industry that Colorado, an oil-patch state long seen as friendly to energy producers, is becoming a battleground over hydraulic fracturing, the drilling process fueling the nations energy boom.

EcoWatch: Last night, the Watkins Glen High School Model UN class took to the streets of the village of Watkins Glen, in Schuyler County, NY. Their message? Protect Seneca Lake! For their class project, the students chose to focus on the plans of an out-of-state corporation, Inergy, which include a proposal for an industrial natural gas storage and transport hub on the shores of nearby Seneca Lake. For their demonstration, the students gathered at Marine Park at the head of the lake and spoke of their...

EcoWatch: Before environmental lobbyists and legislators push a hydraulic fracking bill through the Illinois legislature, they need to sit down with farmers in Clinton County and learn how well regulations defended their water, farms and cankered lives from the contamination of coal slurry in the Pearl Aquifer. Then they would fight to the end, like five southern Illinois county boards, for a moratorium on fracking--instead of a regulatory compromise that undercuts their efforts. That was the advice...

2013-05-23 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: A coalition of 67 grassroots groups criticized the Environmental Defense Fund for its ties to natural gas drillers in setting voluntary standards for hydraulic fracturing, a process opposed by many green advocates. The activist groups, many in communities where natural gas production is booming or in New York where it could start soon, said EDF is offering greenwashing for companies such as Chevron Corp. (CVX) by joining them on a set of standards for fracking. There is a better way to protect...
