Fracking is draining water resources, especially in the West
2013-05-07 22:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Nature Network: The natural gas extraction technique known as fracking uses so much water that it could threaten groundwater resources, especially in the Western U.S., two new reports conclude. The first report (pdf), from the Western Organization of Resource Councils (WORC), found that hydraulic fracking removes 7 billion gallons of water every year in just four states: North Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and Colorado. The organization blames inadequate federal and state-level protections for the use and/or contamination...

Tulsa World: A letter by Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt and signed by his counterparts in 12 other energy-producing states tells the EPA it should not allow threats of litigation by six Northeast states to provide a back-door entry for federal oversight of fracking. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been studying the effects of hydraulic fracturing but so far has stayed out of an enforcement role. The Pruitt letter, however, noted that New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Delaware...

Trying to make fracking sense
2013-05-05 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
News Leader: Fracking separates fossil fuels from rock more than a mile underground. The drilling technique, a boon for the natural gas industry this past decade, also divides environmentalists. Greens, locally and globally, are losing sight of their common ground due to this controversial extraction practice. Last week, The News Leader ran two front-page stories about hydraulic fracturing. The technique involves the injection of water, sand and chemicals into subterranean shale via horizontal drilling, which...
